As far as equipment goes, get something that isnt so obsolete that you have a hard time getting parts for. A little price studying wouldnt hurt either. The ads on this site as well as places like fastline and tractorhouse can help you locate equipment and/or see what the going rate is. As far as cutting equipment goes, New Holland is a good brand for older stuff as thre are several still around and parts are still available.

(Both are made in Nebraska and the companies are still in business. Kosch in Columbus, Ne and Rowse in Burwell, Ne) The ford massey, and allis chalmers mowers are getting kind of obsolete.
