Buy an Allis Chalmers. Great quality, best features and options, better parts availability than many brands, and you can probably buy an Allis AND a mower for much, much less than a single tractor from IH, JD, or any of the other makes. I recently purchased a 1955 Allis WD-45 and a Woods 7' mower for $800. I mowed 10 acres yesterday with the Allis and it meets or exceeds the performance of my John Deere 4020 and Bush Hog mower, and the pathetic thing is that the 4020 and the Bush Hog would cost you over $7,000 if you were to go out and buy them. John Deeres are over-priced and over-rated, Fords are over-rated, Farmalls are good tractors for the money most of the time, and most of the other major brands are ok, but parts and reliability can be a problem. Anyway do whatever you want to, but do some research on all of your options.
