Here's my $.02 for what its worth. I work 68 acres in upstate NY in an ag extension program(needs to be mowed every other year)with an old 42 farmall H. I brush hoged 50 acres of it last year with a 5' trailer brush hog. She also has a front loader tha has come in very handy(I take it off when not in use for better stearing.). Here's what I spent so far. Tractor & loader $850 5'Brush hog $600 7'Sickle Bar $100 2 Bottom Plow $100 8' Disks $100 ---- $1750 All I'm saying in my long winded way is don't rule out an older lower HP tractor for a Weekend machine. Given the chance to start over again the H would still be a good choice, but I would also look at a M.
