There are all kinds of comments on here, and some are valid. First, though, check on what kind of dealers you have close. When you need parts, miles are money. If there is a Ford or Agco dealer near, look for a 3000 Ford or a 165 or 265 Massey Ferguson. The 165-265 are a bit bigger, but very handy. Try to find one with a loader. If you check CL, look around. And check the listings on this site. There are a few usually listed. Running a ways to get a decent one may be well worth the bucks. Your budget may be a bit short- plan to spend a bit more, but you will not regret the extra money spent now when you need a bit more tractor later. Even a 604 or 644 IH or Farmall will cost you in the 4-5 k range. But get one that is fairly common, and while gas is cheaper, I'd strongly recommend a diesel. But take someone who does know tractors to look at it, and don't just buy one because it has pretty paint. And don't buy one that looks like a tornado just had a near miss. Take a bit of time. There are a lot of good older tractors out there, so use some good sense and find one that will last you for a good many years, then get a manual for it, and use it...
