    John Deere 2240 about 50hp with bush hog, disk and blade. I have had it about 4-5 yrs now and love it. I bought the bush hog only wide enough to still be inside the width of my rear tires...great for trails and tight spots. Disk is about 6 1/2 ft. wide and does great on food plots.

    Here are mine . The Ford needs a new head gasket,(among other things). I've had one on my bench for a couple of months, just haven't got to it yet. The Iseki is 19hp and a good little work horse.

    Do you ever have any trouble with the lime cakeing or does it flow good?

    If you open up the bottom the whole way, it flows pretty good. I've probably put almost 10 tons of lime through that spreader over the last few years. You can get that exact one from Northern Tool for about $200.

    I like Ford tractors. I restored a couple in fact. A 1952 8N and a 1961 861 Power master. The 861 Powermaster was 3 times the tractor that little 8N was.The no live PTO gets old in those 8N's and 9N's, but they will work. I had a posthole digger, a 2 bottom plow,disc, a bush hog, a 4 row John Deere planter, a cultivator, snow bucket, tire chains, and a rear blade on the Powermaster. I used the Powermaster to maintain 32 river bottom acres I owned that only had 5 acres tillable that I put food plots into. This was about 8 years ago. I sold the timber and sold off the tractor. I spent more time working the land and maintaining it then I did enjoying the land. I made a good profit selling it off and don't regret it at all. Now I have more places than I can imagine to hunt, and they don't cause me any work or $$.
    I bought the 8N as an investment; I put a $200 paint job and new decals on it, tuned it up, fixed a leak in the gas tank, and made $1500 profit after my expenses. Those little Fords sell well. Henry Ford designed those 9N's that size so that they would fit on a railroad car side by side. Great little tractors. Have fun.
