I had 2 gas 3 cylinder 4000 for several years at same time, a 65 & 68 and for most part they were good tractors. The govener is not designed corectly to be able to get and hold correct PTO speeds And the Ford dealer that was also the mechanic for the store told me that when we were complaining about not being able to control the PTO speed for the combine. And I hated that independant PTO, You see a rock just starting to get picked yo with that combine platform you were having to try to do too many things at once to get stopped to keep that rock out of the cylinder. Yes they do have both Cat 1 & 2 hitch and mine had the 13.6-38 rear tires and the 7:50-15 front tires that I liked. But if I was going back to farming again I would look for the 4 cylinder version in either a 961 or 4000 with being a row crop version with wide front and 5 speed with the foot operated 2 stage clutch for the live PTO that when you need to make that panic stop you just hit the clutch same as in your truck when somebody stops quickly in front of you. You don't want to in that panic stop with a PTO powered piece of machinery have to remember to grab that PTO lever at same time as you are hitting the clutch and throttling down. And still steering it as well. The 3 cylinder has a higher road speed if you need that but hauling grain with wagons to elevator you did not usually use high. The down side to the earlier 4 cylinder tractors is the 28" rear wheels and only a cat 1 hitch and 4 less horse power. They are easier to get on as well as you can get on from both sides instead of just the left side on the 3 cylinder model. The 4 cylinder is also a lot easier to do work on the engine as well and if you ever need rings you do not have to bore the block for sleeves like the 3 cylinder. I had one that had that done and the other was bored 2 sizes oversize as the shop messed uo on the first try boring.
