E. Kansas | If you're buying a used tractor, I recommend getting one that had a large production run and a model that has been proven to be very dependable. Parts and support from various sources are more likely to be available. Depending on your other interests/needs for taking care of your property, besides just the tillable ground, you may want to consider a tractor that you can also use with a loader, mower, rear-end blade, etc.
Be sure to take into consideration the cost of tractor tires, if you're considering one with worn out tires. Same applies to other items needing attention. If you're looking at a John Deere, for example, maybe you can recruit a JD guru you know in that size range of tractor, and have him take a look in person at what you're considering.
Take your time to shop around. Equipment doesn't have to all be the same color and you don't have to buy everything all at once. There is a lot of stuff out there for sale. You may want to check out yesterdaystractors.com and tractorhouse.com.
If you're new to being around farm equipment, please take adequate time to learn how to operate all of it you own safely. Accidents can be terrible and they're the last thing anyone wants you to have. | |
