They would be alright if you could find one under 3000 hrs and were to put 100 to 150 hours on annually. IH took an existing 86 series tractor component-wise to make the 3X88 series 2 + 2's. For example the 130 hp 3388 was pretty much built from the 986 tractor. My point is the drive line is really not much more than adequate for the horsepower. And I'm one of the guys who thought the 86 series was not that bad of a tractor. I have not heard of a early 2 + 2 going several thousand hours without major work needed. I have heard the 6388, 6588, etc. were vast improvements over the so-called 3000 series but there are very few on the market at any given time. I don't think the few 7000 series will get past the collectors for an ordinary guy to get one. Unless you just have a tremendous itch for a 2 + 2, I would go for anything other than that.
