Hi, New to tractors. Uncle in law has roughly 40 year old IH 2 wheel drive, about 35 horses. He bought it used so we don't really know how old. He and father in law own the surrounding 250 acres of land. Hills, fields, 80% woods, LARGE garden. I am contemplating on getting a new 4 wheel drive tractor am currently unsure on which color. I am trying to find one that might do my simple things, but they might go in it with me and maybe get something to replace IH. I am looking at front loader, rear finish mower and am confused on what models might be comparable to the 2 wheel drive IH.

Can I "step down" in power and get same work done? I personally am thinking maybe something in range of 22/27 hp with R4 "industrial" tires.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Regards
Richard

Why do you want something bigger?Is the IH too small in hp or do you want to cover more ground faster?If you are close to SC let me know and Ill make you an offer on the IH.

The IH belongs to Uncle in law. Runs fine, radiater just blew up though, currently getting repaired. He told me it doesn't pull like it used to. Whether we (he) keeps it or not, I personally will end up with *something* probably compact as I think being just the homeowner out here in the middle of "their" 250 acres, that the compact will suffice for *my* needs. If he decides that IH is long in tooth I don't mind larger one so all can use it. I have been told that for example a Kubota, JD, MF 27 hp with 4wd will equal or out pull this IH 2wd. Yes IH is heavier, but with 4wd that is equalized. I know nothing about tractors, so I can only go by what I'm told. I am hoping someone here can sort of verify what i was told about what would work "equally" hard in 4wd as the IH 2wd.

If I can pull this off, it might be for sale, I think that would be great myself.

Regards,
Richard
