It will last at least three years. You'll need something that size for trimming on the 30 acre patch anyway. When you get to PA, look for a 50 to 90 HP field tractor, like a JD3020 or 4020. There are more of them around than there are NEW Chinese tractors and they bring less than the Ford Jubilee and similar sized utility tractors and will do a great deal more work. I've had an 8N and a MF-135 (which did real work) and now I use my 4020 for my patch, about 25 acres in row crop cultivation. The 8N was a toy. I'm sure it served better than a team of horses on some farms, but compared to all the other tractors its a toy. Gerald J.
