For a tractor that you are going to use as daily work horse I would look into a newer tractor. Parts are more readily available and you won't be getting one with an unknown amount of hours. I use two small Kabotas L series you can find these with low hours and lots of attachments for not to much. My L285 with 30 HP will move the 1800 lb bails with a spear on the 3 point. My other one is newer L series with 18 HP and it and 4 wheel drive will also handle the large bails although I would prefer a slightly bigger tractor. I would think something in the 40 to 50 HP range would be a lot better. But I have what I have and they do a good job for there size. It all depends a lot on what you have to invest in them. Most tractors are pretty good and will give you a lot of service if taken care of correctly. Head gasket problems are almost always due to not letting the engine cool down before shutting it off. Early diesels are all prone to this. Walt
