For the jobs you describe, particularily moving round bales, I'd be looking at something no smaller than a Farmall 300 or 350. When lifting 1400 lb bales with a fork on my 350 the front wheels are barely on the ground, even with the added weight of a wide front axle. The 300/350 weighs nearly a ton more than the 240 and has a much stronger frame and rear end. An added benefit when doing heavy hitch work is the larger model of Fast Hitch which allows for a stronger 3-point adapter. (The 240 Fast Hitch uses 2.5" prongs while all the larger tractors use 3".) Most of these tractors would have a live PTO which is a very nice feature for mowing. The extra transmission gear is nice and most would also have a Torque Amplifier to double the number of speeds to 10. (The live PTO and TA were optional but were very commonly selected.) The 300 and 350 are virtually identical with only minor changes and a slight power increase with the newer 50-series.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
