The problem with a lot of the older tractors is implements depending on the area. Here the farm crisis of the 80's saw most small farmers retire or fail. Many of the "made to fit" implements were not wanted or needed for the bigger guys who survived and picked up a lot of land cheap. So they went for scrap. Now both the yuppie types who think that stuff make good yard art and collectors who want to show a tractor with an implement have driven the price through the roof. Not uncommon to watch a 1 bottom trailer plow that's broken sell at auction for 300 bucks or so. Because parts are no longer available a collector buys 2 or 3 of the same model to make one. Mounted cultivators have all but disappeared too. In my area try to find a fast hitch, snap coupler or eagle hitch implement in poor condition for under 500. So for the small sustainable or organic guy here it's gotta be 3 point. Some of the old implements are spendy but you can buy new implements with good parts support. Plows, disk, cultivators, sub soilers, rear and box blades, post hole augers can be bought new. The problem is that for older row crop tractors you can spend well over 1K, near a tractors value, to add a 3 point and the hydraulics to run it. For a lot of the smaller guys and hobbyist that's not affordable. Not when you gotta buy the tractor, hitch, pump, hoses and valves plus the implements. No association but just one company's offerings https://www.howseimplement.com/ . Try finding a mounted cultivator for an A, B or C Farmall in these parts that's complete and usable.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th ... [Read Article]
