"This has been a very solid and reliable tractor. Have owned it over 30 years. I rebuilt the engine once. Put in a new head gasket and new carb. this year. I have bailed 12 acres of hay every year plus mowing with finish mower and snow removal. It starts great even in cold weather. Good gear speeds and 2 stage clutch."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Not too big and not too small for 10-12 acres. Cons: Fuel cost would be less with diesel model. Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 Acres Location: USA NJ I also considered buying:

JD 1020 with Loader

Model year: 1965 Date Purchased: 1990-01-01 Number of Hours:

"This tractor had seen a hard life before I ever got it. I got it from a landscaper and I would guess that his workers worked it for all it was worth. Despite that history it has been a great machine. It is a three cylinder gas engine that is completely reliable and steady running. Hydraulics on the loader leak some, but that is because I haven't taken the time to rebuild the control valves or tighten a few connections. The bucket is 60" and I welded a few chain grab hooks to the top of it. It adds tot he versatility as I can pick, load and unload all sorts of things from my truck. Rated at 35 HP, it is a real good size for many jobs. It is heavy enough for digging (I put teeth on the bucket), I have a 6" chipper and a 60" tiller and a 60" snow blower. All accessories run without problem and don't begin to challenge the machine or engine."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: A great all around tractor, work horse, controllable beast. It is easily a big brother to any current production 35 HP tractor. Cons: None. Type of User: Homeowner 1-10 Acres Location: USA PA I also considered buying: John Deere 110 TLB

"The tractor was in a fire 80 percent burnt. I did a complete cosmetic tear down scuffed and painted replaced hoses and decals. It has a 48 loader, 1 scv new after market seat. I did have a right axle housing break and the brake disc was separated when i took it a part it is also a gas model it seems to have lots of power for 40 hp. I have a snowblower bush hog and flail mower it runs with no problem. I also have a log grapple 7 ft Graer blade and 6 foot Gannon landscaper."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Great little tractor with lots of power. Cons: Set back front axle with strange steering geometry. Type of User: Homeowner 100+ Acres Location: CND OT I also considered buying: John Deere 5210, John Deere 110 TLB

"Priced right at $2500.This machine offered enough power (37 hp) for all the implements I needed. Including chipper, brush hog, rake and grader. Basic, uncomplicated machine. Gas powered, 2wd, stable. Built in USA (I believe). I also have a JD 750 4wd, which is much smaller and less user friendly. I much prefer the older JD's."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Good value, stable, good power, very capable machine. Cons: Older machine but priced right. Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 Acres Location: USA NH I also considered buying:
