I would like opinions out there as to what is the best 1980's to 90's tractor to be used as a landscaper tractor. (Has to be that old so I can afford it.)
I will use it on my own small acreage and do a little landscape work on the side; maybe 3 or 4 times per year. I want it to be a utility tractor in the 40 to 60 h.p. range with a front end loader and 3 pt. hitch, rear 540 pto and draw-bar and with two rear hydraulic remotes. I would use 3 pt. mounted implements like a box scraper, blade, post hole digger, 2 bottom moldboard plow and roto-tiller. Would want to be able to pull an 8 to 10 ft. wide disc and an 8 to 10 ft. wide roller harrow. And, of course, use the front end loader a whole bunch.
I grew up with International Harvester, mostly row crop tractors. I am partial to Case IH, but am open to any suggestions. I currently have a 1494 Case (David Brown) that I absolutely Do Not Like and will be selling this spring.
I appreciate any comments as to brand, type of transmission, any problem things to look out for etc...
