What year is your 3000? My 73' 4000 will go 1.5 mph and it seems counterintuitive that the lowest speed is 3 mph. I know some of the 3000 transmission options will go as low as 1.5 mph. The only problem I see is the transmission pto. That is a pita even with an overrun coupler. I don't understand why they still had the transmission pto as an option or standard.
The John Deere rates at 31hp while the Ford 3000 rates at 47hp. Will the JD operate your mower? Maybe someone will have a 3000 with a different tranny and live pto for sale so you can eventually trade up as long as your wife can't tell the difference (you still need your 3000 as a trade in and backup (as a plausable excuse). I am a firm believer in a backup machine, because your main machine will fail at worst possible time. (Murphy's law, corollary #34).
Not having a backup tractor makes me reluctant to use my one machine until I get my backups up and running.
