I'll say right off that I'm prejudiced in favor of blue.... Depending on what age range you want, look for a Ford 5000, 5600, 6600, 5610, or 6610. Those are all 60-72 h.p. (except early 5000's that still have the original 233 c.i. engine- they are rated 57 h.p.)and easy on fuel. All are 233, 256, or 268 cubic inch 4-cylinders. Avoid the gassers, as any gas-powered tractor this size will be THIRSTY! Or even step up to a 7000/7600/7610 (256 or 268 c.i. turbo-diesels).

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
