We are so glad we bought an old, reliable tractor. My husband has a shot at fixing it when things go wrong. These new ones with all their fancy electronics are not too friendly for a budget conscience homestead. My only issue is I forget what the levers do ...but I'll get it eventually.

Yes the old ones are easier to fix. For sure! I would agree about not being budget friendly for someone like us. Also they are huge. The small old ones are nice and easy to drive. Actually I don't drive the tractor. I am not sure what levers to use.
