Hi guys,
I'm new here, and I'm from the Dallas,TX area. I just purchased a piece of land and am now looking at purchasing a tractor...well actually bartering for a tractor.
Currently I have two offers and I wanted to get some opinions as I really don't know much about tractors other than my dad has a MF 135. The first tractor is a 1950 Ford 8N, runs and drives good, pto works but the lift only works intermittently. The second offer is for a David Brown 885, runs and drives good, pto and lift both work but apparently it smokes. The owner said that it's been sitting (inside) and a mechanic told him that it could be smoking from sitting or it could be a bad injector.
If the two were in the same working condition I would probably go with the 885 because it's a little more tractor, has the live pto and it's a diesel. I haven't been out to see either tractor yet, so my question is what should I be looking for when I go look and are the problems listed a big deal? I know it's a loaded question with the limited info I have, but maybe y'all can point me in the right direction.
