An alternative to a new and relatively expensive tractor is a well-running antique. They''re not quite as capable or dependable as a contemporary tractor, but they''re considerably less expensive. Small, still-working antique tractors such as a late-''40s or ''50s Farmall Cub or a low-riding, auto-style Ford 9N currently sell for about $2,500, a bit more if they''re outfitted with new rear tires or hydraulics. If at all possible, buy one with a newly rebuilt engine, an onboard hydraulic system, a rear-mount three-point hitch and one or two mechanical power takeoffs (PTOs) rather than a drawbar. Invest in a modern underframe (Woods), rotary brush hog or field mower and other post-1950s attachments. Look carefully, because museum-quality antiques from the 1930s and earlier often powerflaretools lack hydraulics and PTOs (Polk''s, the Antique Tractor Magazine, published by Dennis Polk Equipment of New Paris Indiana (subscriptions 219-831-3555) and Farm Collector from the folks at Odgen Publications in Topeka, KS (subscriptions 800-678-4883) are two great sources of info on older models better suited for displaying on the front yard than grinding in the cornrows). If you intend to do any really heavy work such as logging, trenching for soil-drainage pipe, digging in a septic tank or cutting a logging road through heavy woods, consider a full-size industrial tractor with a log grapple or excavating bucket on the front and a backhoe on the stem. New, they cost five or six figures. Good used ones cost about $15,000.

New from UEI is its Model CD100A hand-held combustible-gas leak detector. It has a flexible 18-in. gooseneck sensor and a rubber boot to protect the instrument against damage from dropping or abrasion.I always enjoy visiting the cps booth because the staff not only has something new to show me, but they also anticipate my arrival. I was greeted with a product release sheet as I walked up. A new refrigerant weigh scale, Model CC1000, handles drums up to 220 lb. and weighs with 1/2-oz. accuracy. Sheet metal work has never been a specialty of mine, but I did find a tool with which I was totally taken. It''s The Nibbler from Rodman & Co., a device that chucks into a drill motor and can be used to cut and scroll almost any gauge of sheet metal with the greatest of ease and speed. Not a saw or scissors, it''s actually a small punch that cuts metal with a surprisingly burr-free edge. No exposed, dangerous surfaces on the tool will cut or catch you.
