1. The single most crucial aspect of purchasing a used tractor is condition. If you are in the market for a used tractor, and you find one in good condition (preferably with as many attachments as possible), buy it.

2. Look for a brand that is popular in your area, so you can pick up a few spares that will take the same attachments.

3. Select your horsepower carefully. Six horsepower is enough to power a small rider tractor, and half that for a two wheeler.

3. If purchasing an older tractor, stay away from automatic drive, the early ones weren't very efficient, and all of them are complicated.

4. Make sure the model you select is a real garden tractor, not a lawn tractor designed only for mowing grass. The majority of manufacturers make both types.

5. Look to avoid orphan brands of tractors, but do not expect many of today's dealers to have many parts for very old tractors.
