Hi don't know anything about the gas engine. My brother has two a 454 and 495 Diesel models with D-179 German Diesel engine. Pros: Reliable, good hydraulics, very maneuverable 40 HP utility tractor. Cons: hydraulic brakes and parking brake. Check foot brakes for not being "spongy" and parking brake will hold on a slope. Hopefully it has an 1850 loader not a 2250.

Will require fluid in rear tires or additional weight on rear for round bales over 1000 lbs.
