Fellas,
Hope this isn't so off-topic that it get's killed. I figure a few folks have an interest in the subject.
I'm on Gramp's farm and the '52 Redbelly is barely cuttin' it - literally. It won't keep the bushhog at an even level, as I have to continually fool around with a little lever under the seat to adjust the wildly varying hitch lift. It bogs down on thick grass, and it drinks gas. Plus it's hard as hell to start under 60 degrees.
I'm starting to think about getting something else. I'm told the Ford 4000 series are good tractors that don't cost a fortune.
My needs aren't lavish. Basically cutting a 10 acre field. Don't want to spend more than $4500 or so.
Whadda y'all think?
