The hydraulic pump works by turning the steering wheel to the right. Left works, but only about half as well as right. Try to lift the loader or 3pt without doing that, and they won't work by design. They're nice little tractors, but are little tractors. The 1050 is about 27HP because of the turbo. Think 950 is 25, 850 23. As someone said, if they do break, parts are expensive and hard to come by. I had clutch problems on my 950 about 10 years ago I'm guessing, and needed to replace the flywheel while I was at it. The Deere guy needed to go third party because stuff was pretty back ordered through the motherland. They're ok little tractors and the 1050 MFWD could come in pretty handy. From my opinion though, there are better tractors out there, especially for the money and parts availability. They weigh the same as a Ford 640. The 1050 has a live 540 RPM PTO though. Slightly less HP than the 640. If it's been setting, the brake rods sometimes rust up, but can be loosened up with oil on the rods. The 1050 is four speed with a high and low range making it an eight speed. Trans lube and hydraulics are the same Hydraulic oil in the trans, filter under the left floorboard. They are ok little tractors, but I'm of the opinion that there are better tractors in the same or different colors for the same money, probably not MFWD though.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
