Well, it depends what you are using it for. If you are using it for utility or loader work, there is no style of tractor better than the models listed above. They all have strong hydraulics, very durable transmissions, and high load capacity 3pt hitches. Problem areas are a fuel tank prone to get rusty internally(get ready to clean out sediment bowl often) park brakes that if left on will cause pads to break off into transmission, plugging up pumps and filters (if this never occurs, the pads will outlive you), a reputation to be underpowered (check the fuel system, if it is dirty, it WILL be gutless) and a diesel engine that is supposedly loud. I wouldn"t recommend one for heavy duty pulling work such as plowing, or just about any tillage work that you want done quickly. Work great for raking, conditioning, cutting grass, cutting hay, baling with a lower capacity square baler, and pulling wagons. Overall great tractors, just very specialized. Sorry for the long post.
