I am utterly shocked at the responses for the Oliver. My father in law had an 1855 and it was a tank! But, it also rode and drove like it too. At the end of the day you felt like you had been in a bar brawl. Plus, it took 5 acres to turn it around. He sold it and bought a JD 4000. It was definitely a major step up in comfort and turning radius. The 1855 still had more power and used less fuel though.
I say forget the 3020 option and spend a couple $$ more and step up to a 4020 or 4000 side console model. Much better tractor for just a few dollars more. Plus the resell value is only increasing everyday for them. You can use it 10 years and sell it for more than you gave for it.
