Need advice on tractor.

Posted by Jim on June 08, 2002 at 19:19:29 from (64.18.238.156):

I am hoping to draw on the experience on this board.
I have a restored Farmall 300.Excellent.
My problem is in the aging process (Mine) and battling arthritus I am finding it increasingly hard to get on and off the tractor. I am concerned about slipping at some time and doing some real damage. Plus it is so tall I do have to be careful driving it into the shop where it lives between lawn cuttings. Also the narrow front wheel design is a concern to me and I would prefer to go to tractor with wide set front wheels. I need a tractor to do the work around here but want to get one easier to use. I need to pull a 6 foot mower; PTO;hydraulics and a 3 point hitch.
This is the only tractor I have ever had.
What would you recommend as a replacement tractor to meet my needs?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Jim
