Old Mossy Horns
I want a tractor, will have $3000 to spend. Outward appearance is not important, solid mechanics is desired...
You can find one that has been used real good for that, but finding a good one may be another issue. What size or what do you intend to do with it would be helpful? I am guessing you need something with live power so that using a bush hog would be much easier?I want a tractor, will have $3000 to spend.

The Longs were actually pretty good tractors for the money. The smaller ones other than the sheet metal were identical to Oliver AC and White for several years. A very few years they made a couple big ones that MF put their colors on but that didn't work so well. Up to 60 hp they are tough if you treat them just half decent.My suggestion is to get a long 360, 445 or 460.
They are Romanian (UTB) tractors that were sold out of Tarboro through the 80s.
No one buys them so they are dirt cheap, but they are awesome tractors!
Easy to maintain, simple & reliable.
Because we're close to their import base there are plenty of parts available too.
If you're not in a hurry you should easily be able to get a long for $3k.
Alternatively, I've also got a ford 8n, 5ft bushog & 20 blade disc harrow that I'll have for sale soon for $3k.
