Well first off, you only asked about a Case 830 verses a Case 930 on the Case forum, with no mention of an Oliver 1850. That being said, and both tractors being in equal condition, I would be looking at how the tractors are equipped. Presuming that the 1850 has an Over/Under trans., that would be an advantage in most situations, other than it is free-wheeling in underdrive. The 930 engine has more low end torque so the ability to shift on the go is minimized. Both tractors were available with both a long and short wheelbase and that could be a factor to compare if one is long and the other short. The short WB tractors are more maneuverable, but ride rougher and have a bit less traction if not properly weighted. The Case 930 has a flat operator platform and sets nice and high, where the 1850's still straddled portions of the trans, and the operator was exposed to a lot more heat in the summer. You are the guy who is going to be operating it and your priorities may vary from mine. My 931 long wheelbase tractor is still a workhorse and pulls a 5x18" plow on our hilly ground. --------------Loren

Today's Featured Article - Using Your Tractor: Creating a Seed Bed - by Chris Pratt. When I bought my first old tractor, I had only one idea in mind. It wasn't the preservation of old iron since at that time, I was unaware that people even did this. It wasn't to show off my restoration skills (though I had tried my hand at a couple of old motorcycles in my teens and if I recall correctly, those old motorcycles were sold in boxes about one quarter finished). It wasn't to relive memories of Grampa, Dad or myself out on the back 40 nursing the Farmall pulling too many b
