It's good to make a smaller footprint; we keep having more feet making them so we do need to be mindful.

Tier 3 on Diesel engines greatly harmed mileage.
Tier 4 on Diesel engines greatly harmed reliability, affordability, and safety in rough use.

For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books).
