That's one reason to try and carry an experienced neighbor (farmer or mechanic) with you. Dyno's are wonderful, but I wouldn't let the inability to hook up to one be a deal breaker if I believed the powertrain to be sound. A good tune-up can do wonders. Also, remember that you are looking at machines that are 30+ years old. There are no real guarantees on a tractor that old. Also, you won't have to go far beyond $10,000 before you can find something much newer. In the end, your personal preferences and budget will be the deciding factors. And besides... if you find the perfect tractor with no faults, what will you do with yourself during the long winter months? A tractor that doesn't need work... Where's the fun in that? As for me, if I can't pay too much and spend more on repairs than its worth I don't need it! (But honey, we can't afford to sell it, I'd never get my money out of it!) Gotta go!
