Hi all,
I'm in the market for a used tractor. I have 5 acres that is overgrown with grass and blackberries and I need to mow it down. I used to have a new Kubota tractor (back when I believed debt was normal) that had a front-end loader and a brush hog; it was great. But I don't do debt anymore, and $15k is out of my price range.
Budget is roughly $1,800~$2,000
I'm mostly interested in a tractor for mowing with a brush hog. I've been thinking about a Ford 8N, and there seem to be quite a few on CL for under $2k, some even with brush hogs. I'm a little nervous about the lack of a live PTO on the 8N and relying on an overrun coupler to keep me out of the creek though. What other tractor brands/models would be reliable?
