i need to learn about tractors and know next to nothing about them.....
is there a book or magazine that will provide basic information.... shop
manual, 'tractors for dummies', or something? i have searched amazon
and find a lot about selling, refurbishing, maintaining antique
tractors, but nothing to use as a learning/reference tool. thank you.

in the event there is a tractor expert in the group: we have recently
purchased and moved in on a 20 acre property in Texas (gradual sloping
hills w/ mesquite & oak trees) and need to purchase a tractor and mower.
for every person i ask, there is a different answer as to horsepower,
size/type of mower deck, need for a front end loader, pto, convienence
of controls, yadda yadda. the neighbors with similar acreage have
everything from 100hp with industrial grade mower to 40hp with a much
smaller mower. we have a couple of horses on the property and plan to
add 4 to 5 cows, so will need to be able to move round bales in the
winter. i don't want to spend the next year learning by word of mouth. i
hope to find something to read, reread and continue as a reference. we
prefer buying used and getting what is needed in power (maybe a little
more). thanks again. jan.
