In Reply to: 1946 Ford Tractor 9M-Is this a good tractor??? posted by Mark on April 19, 1998 at 19:38:29:
: I have never owned a tractor, but I have about five acres(recently aquired) and want to mow, till, grade our road, and other stuff. Would this be a good tractor for me. The owner wants $2450. Is this a good price. Does anybody have any information at all??
Fords (2's, 8's, 9's) have been very popular with acreage owners in my nexk of the woods. I opted for a WD-45, more horsepower and features. Price wise I'd look at farm sales, I saw a 9N with loader, disk and 2-row plow go for $900. You'd be surprised what you can get for your money if you get away from folks catering to acreage owners. Don't rule out (somewhat)larger or more obscure tractors.
