I like my B-275. Hydraulics work very well and the 3 point lift has a lot of power. I have no problem moving round bales with it. As far as the glow-plugs and wiring goes . . . I didn't use any of the original wiring on mine. It was a mess when I got it, and it was easier and faster to rewire it rather then put it back to original. I assume you understand that the glow-plugs run in series, not parallel. So, if one goes bad, or there is a bad connection along the line, none will work. I've thought about putting quick-heat plugs in, hooked in parallel, but since mine work fine I haven't done it yet. I have Champion #155 plugs in it. The #155 is Champion's new number system, but the plug is actually an AG28 and is rated 40 amps at .9 volts with 18 mm threads. They are wired in series through another sort of glow-plug resistor that sits in the dash and serves as an indicator. When it turns cherry red, you can assume the ones in the engine are also. It works slow and is aggravating at times. There are newer style plugs out that run on 9 or 12 volts, heat up in a few seconds, and are burn-out protected with internal circuit breakers. Not the Champions, but Beru and AC-Delco have them. I use them now in all my diesel trucks (Ford with IH 6.9 and G.M.s with 6.2s).
So, as my tractor is now - I put in a modern key igniton switch. The IGN terminal of the switch runs to a small push-button switch on the dash that operates the glow-plugs. Since the glow-plugs draw a lot of amperage, the push-button is wired to control a relay, and the relay sends the full current to the glow-plugs. It's a cheap, maybe $7 relay as used on Ford cars and trucks as a starter relay. It works great.
My tractor is a 1960, and Mahindra in India is making them again new. As I understand it, the new tractor uses 85% original parts from 1959-1960, but has more modern sheet metal and a completely different, direct-injected engine.

Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
