The 544 is a good tractor overall with some exceptions. The rear end and assorted components are designed to handle more power than the engine has, so you shouldn't need to worry about an overstressed tractor. It is nimble, and great for tasks like raking, fluffing, loader work, cutting hay, light baling, etc. However, if you plan on doing any pulling, I would probably go to a different model. The C-200 (which is in this tractor and our 2500A) is rated at 55 horsepower, but it doesn't feel like the same 50 horsepower that a 400 would have. The engine in it is essentially a tightly wound small displacement motor(it only has 35 more cubes than a 350). It has the horsepower at high end, but doesn't have the low end torque of the older M's, 400's etc. It is however, very smooth running and well balanced. If you are doing any pulling or heavy field work, hold out for a 656. They have the pulling power, but are still small enough for light duty.
