Well, here are the pros-

The rear end is built to handle much more power than the engine can put out.

It has a very simple yet powerful hydraulic system.

You get power steering, power brakes, and most of them have the dual shaft PTO unit, meaning you don"t need to do anything to the tractor to switch between implements that run at 540 RPM and those that run at 1000.

Gas engine starts on any cold Minnesota morning.

The cons are-

Gas engine is thirsty and won"t last if you don"t know how to take care of it (Low-Ash engine oil from your Case-IH dealer and 93 octane gas).

Transmission is no fun to shift if you don"t know what you"re doing.

The shift pattern has High, Low, N, and R in a straight line, meaning you have to take extra time shifting from H to R to avoid grinding through L.

Things to look out for-

Have the TA pressure tested at a Case-IH dealer before you agree to buy. If it dosen"t pass with flying colors, the price is $1000 too high.

If the Park Lock is engaged while the tractor is still moving, teeth will be broken off the reverse driven gear. If you hear any noise in reverse, that"s what happened.

If any of the gears are hard to find, it will need the whole shift linkage rebuilt, at the tune of about $500.
