hi, im looking for a tractor to mow about 40 acres of grass that is around 3ft to 4 ft tall in some spots. I have been looking for one for a long time and have found these two tractors that i think could both do the job. The Farmall m is all original and has good rubber, good paint and overall looks good. The guy is asking $2800 obo for the tractor so i could probably get it for like 2400. It is a 1948. The ford is a ford 860 and has good paint, runs good, and has good rubber. The guy is asking $3500 but i might be able to get it for a little less. Which one will work better on the field and why? The ford is a 1955 or 1956. Any help would be great thanks

Buy the Ford. 1st you won't be happy with the "M" and its priced at least 500 to high. They are as common as dog hair and should be priced accordingly..... ...

Well, I"ve got both a Super M and an 861 Ford, so that"s basically the same choice.

I"d choose the Ford for mowing, no contest. It"ll also be a handier utility tractor around the farm.

At $3500, I"d buy that tractor pronto.

You didn't mention what type of mower you will use ? perhaps it will help you make a good choice. Personnally I would prefer the Ford 860 because of its live hydraulics and independant PTO(double stage clutch), 3 point hitch. The 860 has a smaller engine but you have plenty of power from this little bomb. The price is right for both tractors.
I would buy the 860 at $3500, immediately without hesitations.
