Hey guys, I'm currently in the market for a compact/ small/ maybe a medium sized firewood tractor. I have a couple of ads up on some boards and Craigslist. I'm looking for a tractor with a front end loader. I have no money (I'm getting married, so I have money, just very little for a tractor) right now so I have my ar-15 (spikes lower and bcm upper) for trade plus some cash. So a rough value of ~2k.
Now anything I should stay away from? I'm talking about a $2000 here so I'm not expecting anything fantastic. Certain years for certain manufacturers?
Certain motors? I know it's going to be old and not pretty but I'm moving slabs, firewood and logs around so it's gonna be a working tractor, I'm also fairly young at 25, so something I could keep and fix with parts I can source is kind of important. It seems like the bigger, older tractors go for cheaper around my area.
Any help would be appreciated since I have no knowledge of tractors or front end loaders, but I intend to learn
