It's been in the family for a while, but my uncle graciously let my wife & I take it off his hands. We are extremely appreciative and we're going to have a lot of fun with this tractor! It's my first tractor. I still need to get a smaller tractor with a front-end loader but this is an awesome start.

What BMR said!
Especially if you plan to load big hay bales. It’s tough if you are at or near capacity because it takes a lot longer time moving/loading hay. But you can only do what you can afford. That’s the boat I’m in. Which is a leaking canoe approaching a water fall without paddles 😂

We are somewhere near inheriting a Ford 4000 with a loader. But it is not nearly as good shape as yours appears to be in. I have a New Holland 55TC. That was all I had for years. It would move big bales but you better be careful. I got a Massey 390. It is so much nicer moving bales without the pucker factor being involved.
