"The 1465 is a very good all around tractor. With four wheel drive and ample gearing choices, the tractor does everything well that I have thrown at it, including grading and plowing the driveway, mowing about 5 acres of meadow with a flail mower and pulling logs from the woods.
With a loader it's not easy to access the fuel filters and injection pump but so far, I've gotten by with adding a pre-filter and just changing that annually.
The tractor is stout and so far has been able to pull the biggest logs out of the woods, albeit in low 1st gear until I get them over the hill...pulls downhill easily :). I recommend the wheel weights if you have a loader to counter the front load and give you more traction in 2WD.
I would highly recommend this to anyone looking. My previous tractor was a Ford 841 which was nice but not in the same league as the Oliver.
Good luck! Ben."
