I am looking to purchase a used tractor. I am looking at the Farmall 400/450 Gas, Farmall 560 Diesel, D17 and D19 Allis gassers. A JD 620 or 630 as well. I mainly us a tractor for a 7" brush hog, blading, moving large bales of hay and possibly will install a loader. I have driven all but a D19 and the 620/630. I liked the two speed of the D17 and the power only it seemed light on traction. I liked the 560 other than seemed a little taller and harder to get on the seat, getting off/on. I grew up on a 400 and it was okay as well. It did not have live power though, the power steering was poor. Could you give advice on reliability of these in comparison? I know the 560D have head gasket issues and can be hard starting. I have heard the allis will leak hydraulics in the belly or something and jump out of gear as they age? Any noteables on any of them as far as good vs bad. One of thems power steering vs the other. How about the hydraulics and such? Anything noteable there? How about brakes? ever I buy will be a wide front. Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions. I own an old 1944 JD A Slant Dash that is a family heirloom but is has no live power and is a little lacking on power too, front end is light for bales and no power steering. Robert
