Productive farming depends upon your machinery. I recently bought John Deere 116 and found that it is the most reliable one. It is a small sized tractor that can easily go through your farm and get things done. I have bought the one and recommend everyone to make a rational investment. You can even buy john deere 116 parts easily.
