Would have to disagree on the 560 comment, I know some diesels had problems but you would have a tough time finding a more fuel efficient, good pulling tractor. And they actually started pretty decent in the winter time, even here in North Dakota (plugged in and glow-plugs working). I have moved a lot of big round bales with a 560, really liked the tractor. My vote would be for a JD 3155 we had. This model was produced in Germany and parts were hard to get, always had to be ordered in. And there were always parts to order. Had about 6000 hrs when traded and fix list follows: 2 hydraulic pumps, 2 A/C compressors, pto rebuilt, transmission repaired twice, transmission linkage, 2 new front rims (MFWD), 2 new rear hubs, 3 fuse circuit boards (a real cheezy push-in, slide-out setup), clutch, throttle cable, fuel shut off cable, 3 kits for leaking hydraulic couplers, I know I am missing stuff that I can't think of right now. This was what you would call a "LEMON" or actually a "LIME"!!!!!!!
