Did anyone here ever have one & what do you think of them? Do they have greater pulling capacity with 4WD vs 2WD? A 60 horse, 2WD tractor around here is still a 3 plow machine with all the clay. Will the 4WD setup be capable of pulling 4 bottoms or is that negated by the hydro transmission. They certainly look heavy enough.

Thanks,
Mike

I've been around a number of them, but they were used as loader tractors, for operating amounted windrower, or to operate snowblowers, too small to be considered a heavy tillage tractor around here, so I can't offer an opinion of pulling capabilities.

To me, the cab was TIGHT, very little foot room to get around the seat when getting in or out of the cab, NOT a good thing with a utility loader tractor.

Axles cold give trouble, there very oiling issues with the final drives if operating on a slope for a period of time, such as making hay in highway ditches.

A LONG time ago some of those parts were obsolete and had to be sourced from tractor boneyards.

I seem to recall some engine issues, (possibly some changeovers that some needed to have done?).

The following model, the "160" had Waukesha engines, then they later settled on Cummins.

One thing, they have a LOT of things to leak, and they DO!
