After buying my '58 641 Workmaster and beginning to understand more about Fords and the different models, I sure wish I had a lower first gear and a live pto.
I don't have buyer's remorse though, my tractor is doing everything I need to do and for the price I paid for it, I couldn't be happier. Having said that, I think I'm going to keep an eye out for another tractor that can dig post holes and run a roto tiller. With all that I have to spend money on in the next couple of years it may take that long before I could buy such a tractor, but it has me wondering what some of you guys would suggest to look for.
I don't want a new tractor either. There is something about these old tractors and their relative simplicity to work on. That and I personally have a thing for old iron shined up and running perfectly. So with that said, I'd sure like to hear the opinions of some folks that actually know tractors and what their limitations are.
As far as my needs are, about to be a total of 8 acres, fruit tree orchard, need fences built, barn built, about 5 acres to mow, dirt work and general beer sippin' at the end of a hard days work while admiring a cool looking old tractor, just because that's how I roll.
Thanks!
