The 1086 has more horsepower than the 2090. We have a 1086 and a 2590. Both are really good tractors. The powershift is nicer for loader work, and quite reliable if you know what you are doing. And with buying a used tractor you are going on the faith that the previous owner knew what he was doing also. With the Case powershift, you HAVE to, I say ABSOLUTELY MUST shift down to first gear in the power range before pushing in the clutch. If you do not, the clutch kicks the lever back to first no matter what gear you were in and it tears things up in the tranny. Other than that I know of no problems with the powershift. Oh yeah, don't shift at full throttle either because it will jump the front wheels off the ground! Our 1086 is good, but TA problems have led us to like the 2590 better. However, on a loader you probably wouldn't use the TA as much, and it wouldn't be under load like ours is in the field. A horse a piece I say, but the cab is nicer on the Case also, and controls are better placed. Although sometimes with a loader it is nice to have doors on both sides of the cab. Right now we are looking for a Case powershift to replace our 1256 as a loader tractor. Steven
