I would agree Ken. You could get by with less depending on the acres but a good stout tractor that doesn't wear you out is a bonus.

The 275 is a nice match for the Oliver 1655 but anything bigger would be too big. I pull a 15 foot 750 drill but it does push the tractor around on the ends a little.

Notilling after the turn is a breeze, 5 MPH. Should be a 10 footer but I am tired of turning so much. Need to find a tractor the size I need to pull the drill.

The 7020 AC was sure a consideration yesterday but I am not a punkin man, no offense to AC lovers. A tractor is a match to your wits and personality the longer you spend time on it.

HMMM. New post idea. See above.
