I have a 460 Wheatland Special (utility type) diesel. It has given me very good service for haying and light field work cultivating, harrowing, 12 foot disker, etc. Like all 460 diesels, starting isn't very enthusiastic unless the temperature is warm and the battery connections are clean and tight. I have a big block heater for starting in cold weather (we bale flax straw in the fall when the temperature is well below freezing in the morning).

I am not sure I would want it for a loader tractor because reverse gear in both ranges is very slow--it would be great on a snow blower, but not convenient for lots of back-and-forth loader work. For that I have an old Fordson Major Diesel with a Woods loader which starts great in the winter and has better gearing for loader work.
