Thought I wrote this last night, but I must have hit the wrong button to post it....
In 1964, I was stationed in E WY in the Air force. As I worked mostly nights, I worked part time that summer on a ranch on the WY/SD border... the west fence of the ranch was the border. We had a gas 450 and a diesel 350. The 450 was the real workhorse of the ranch, did everything, plowed corn ground with a 3x16" F-H plow, wheat stubble with a 5x14" pull type, 50T baler with a Farmhand accumulator, single row IH chopper to fill silo, etc. It never had a glitch all summer... just went to the field and worked. The 350D was another story... no power, hard starting, little nagging things. Only thing it was used for was loading and unloading the 8 accumulated bales on and off a big bale trailer, and stacking them in big stacks. We had about 400 acres of irrigated alfalfa, so we baled almost every day, but handled very few by hand.
From my experience there, I wouldn't have hesitated buying a 450 gas if I needed a tractor that size.
