The JD 3010/20 and 4010/20 tractors are very desirable for collectors and small acre or hobby farms. They generally sell for much, much more than they cost new. If you find one at a real bargain price (especially a diesel), question it's condition. I did a search, the 3020's ranged from $5k-$12k. Found some 4020's ranging from $7k-$12k. At least for JD (dunno about other makes), the fronts are interchangeable. Our 4010 has a wide front that was donated from a 3020 (was originally a tricycle). They do have power steering. If you decide to try and get one, either would be a super tractor and have more capability than you'd ever need for such a small area. Most likely you'll find them with a Synchro-Range transmission. The shift pattern takes some getting used to, but it's a nice unit. You may come across a Powershift. From what I've heard, that early Powershift was good but not great. Good hunting. You're on the right track by asking lots of questions before buying.
