the contractor i work for at the mo....owned one in the 70's..... they broke a lot of new country in a drago..... they reckoned it was a stronger puller and generally better hill tractor than a county..... ..now thats saying something....they reckoned once she dug in there was nothing stopping her lots of people accociate SAME with poor quality here in NZ..... .but tell ya the truth..... most have been that floged..... done some hard yards....missed services....etc..... basically treated like dogs.....SAME are every bit as good as the 'top 3' manufacturers.... check the parts availability in your area..... even consider cross referencing parts with the oliver badged models..... SAME are known for being a little slow on parts..... but i am told the Italian mail system is pretty slack....so....i would blame SAME on that one Fiat is ok for parts.....but that is because of the NH association..... parts are not neccessary of Italian origin...where as SAME is..... i have a website for SAME tractors..... hope this helps..... . SAME drago would make a great restoration/classic tractor.....unique..... still very usable i want a hercules....160! laters pudding
