In Reply to: 3010 vs 1650 posted by orangepower on August 14, 2017 at 05:20:40:
I am a John Deere guy, by and large. The first tractor I learned to drive was a 3010 gas. It was a peppy tractor, and by the time I had learned to drive it, the engine had been overhauled with non-OEM sleeves and pistons. If I recall, they might have been produced by M & W. I then went on to learn to operate a 3020 and a 4020. We did have a 1955 Oliver on the farm and it was a very problem prone tractor from top to bottom and from front to back. The general conclusion I recall hearing from others was that it was too much horsepower for the engine that was in the tractor, and possibly for the entire drivetrain. With that being noted, I think a 1650 Oliver was a decent tractor and was pretty dependable. I particularly liked that 3 speed Over/Under shifting set up. If that is something that fits nicely into what you plan to do with the tractor, then I think you should go for it. If you are going to use a front end loader on a tractor, the syncro range transmission on the 3010, I think, will be more user friendly versus the transmission in the Oliver. The ease of use from forward to reverse in the lower 2 ranges is quite nice without having a clashing of gears. Horsepower wise, the 3010 will be less than the 1650. I think the next size smaller of a 1550 (not sure, but I know they made a 1555) would be a closer match to the 3010.
