I grew up on a 1958 861 Powermaster, it is the right size for mowing, also needs less maintainance than some of the newer tractors. It has live PTO and hydraulics, with a 2 spool valve. Also partial to the Ford 5000 row crop, but after 35 years it does have some steering issues. Also only has single spool valve, never will know why "Uncle" Dave had 2 spool on the smaller tractor and only one on the 5000. Both burn lots less fuel than similar size other brands, from experience. 100 HP+ would possibly be IH 1066 as long as you pretend the TA isn't there, and turn pump DOWN to around 115 HP to help fuel burn. Old tractor favorite is my Grandpas 1936 F20 with road gear. Just got her here to Illinois this spring, cost about 300 for everything it needed to bring her back to life. DOUG
