I would like to buy a 30 hp or a 40 hp so I can easily utilize a tiller. As far as new.....I don't see where I could ever recover the money spent on a new tractor using it 3 times a year.

As far as american made....I would love to buy everything I own American made, but the fact is that everything that I have bought that has been American made was made cheap or didn't last. I am a Ford man and all my vehicles are Ford. What I am looking for in a tractor is something cheap that will withstand me using it three times a year without falling apart. Make doesn't matter to me. I really like my buddies New Holland. It is easy to operate.
