Roger in Iowa said: (quoted from post at 10:21:33 09/27/13) I must be either lucky or know what I am doing. Haven't replaced a spark plug in probably 10 years. Starts well and runs very well uses no oil and maybe never overhauled with 5000+ hours. I never use anything but premium (no alcohol). Very dependable and with narrow front a joy for mowing around trees. But mine is a 1971. Haven't bought any parts but filters and carb gasket and one set of plugs since owning it for 27 years.
like said, olivers, my grandpa has a 1650 gas, with westendorf loader on it, the tractor is snappy, and i absolutely LOVE the hydrual over-under shift, the hydraulics are faster (meaning the loader moves faster) than his friends 560, also one thing that makes a difference when moving snow is the oliver is HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY, which helps traction. when he moves snow he doesnt have to add weight to it most of the time. i dont really have seat time in the other types a tractors, but the oliver is nice and plush, with a user friendly control layout, also the over under is free wheeling when you go from over to under without stopping at direct, so you coast until you slow down enough to enter under gear, which is real handy if you are driving down a road and have to stop, cause then you are already in under for when you take off and you dont have to shift to under when you do stop. the other tractor he had a loader on that i have used is his 770, i dont know if it would have enough power for your needs or not, but its just as nice as the 1650 but with only a under/direct trans. my vote is for olivers and whites, and a smaller allis chalmers, as to me they are the most user oriented, or at least they felt that way to me when i sit on them, but to each his own
