Thanks for your reply. I plan on mostly using the tractor for the duties I explained in my first post. I'll be using it at least a few times a week if not everyday. The 3910 I looked at has a front end loader, which I do want, and I felt at home on that one - I'm not accustomed to power steering in a tractor, so that it lacked it didn't bother me. I just want to make the right purchase and get the tractor that can pull and use all the implements I listed in my first post. And I'd be using the tractor on approx. usually 5-40 acres or so. I also wonder about the importance of 4WD. And what are the earliest models that have it? I cannot afford brand new. I got along fine in Wyoming in a 1953 Ford which didn't have 4WD. I'm in Colorado now and though I don't plan on doing any mountain work on it, I may run into some sloping hills on rare occasions. I'm on flat ground where it will be used at home. The HP on the engine for the 3910 I was looking at is 47 and the PTO 43. Is this plenty for the implements I wrote about earlier? Auger, ripper, leveler, disk, harrow for arena and a brush hog? The 1715 I looked at had a engine HP of 25 and a PTO HP of 23. I guess because I have only been around older, stouter tractors, I'm having a hard time with the lighter, less HP models. I am not familiar enough with them to know if they can use these implements well in our soils, etc. I guess to start, I'm mostly wanting to know what HP is needed for the implements I'll be using regardless of model. Then I'll look into which make and model.

Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
