I have a 584, purchased new in 1985, It does the haybining and baling, draws the manure and blows snow, it is an outstanding tractor and I have not had a minute's trouble with it in the 19 years we have owned it. It starts in sub zero without block heater, is economical on fuel. When I have ground to turn it pulls 3x16 and plays with 10'disc and field cultivator and section harrows. It is a great utility tractor and my main tractor on my 100 acre hobby farm. It gets help from an M, 2 H's and a B250 and a Case310. It was rated at 52 HP. My friends up the road have JD's and they can't believe how this tractor will start and go in cold weather. Their 1830 and 2030 have to be plugged in to start even in the fall of the year. I have had the trans drained and the tractor gone over at the dealer's. I replace the trans filter and screen regularly and do oil and fuel filters by the hours. I use diesel fuel conditioner to remove moisture, clean injectors and lubricate the pump and I do this on a regular basis. I believe we paid $15000 for this tractor new and according to the "Western Ontario Farmer" ads used 584's still bring $9500, there were two in this week's ads at that price. So in summary this tractor has spoiled me and a replacement would have a lot to live up to, they have held their value significantly. I have not heard anything bad about 684, 784, 884. I saw an 884 with a cab that I was interested in, but it had high hours so I will hang onto the one I've got......Mike in Exeter Ontario
