What is a very good old tractor to buy for a modest farm?

Organic Farming

Query by Zeke’s Dad: What is a great old tractor to buy for a tiny farm?
I am looking to purchase a small organic farm in Vermont, and want an older, easy, reliable tractor. The land is level, 20 acres of tillable land, 20 acres of timber. It will want to pull a plow, rake, logs, wagon and a combine if I can uncover an old a single. I favor a diesel, and parts must be readily obtainable. One thing along the line an Allis Chalmers D17 diesel makes me smile!

Best answer:

Answer by clay
Numerous of the older tiny tractors have been quite effectively constructed. Parts for Ford, Massey, and John Deere may be less complicated to acquire.
