I looked at an old Ford Tractor I think it was a 1958. Just a small one. It had a power take off to run a buck saw. But most of all, it had a front end loader which was my main interest. I could move snow, and haul firewood out of the woods with that front end loader. My other thought was a Bobcat. But they are more toys then anything else to me. As I don't believe in working anymore then I have to.

That Deere should be perfect for you. Fun too. And you can fix it.
