Looking for some input/thoughts on purchasing a tractor or modifying the one I have. I currently own a 1963 John Deere 2010. I bought it without doing a lot of research and know it has one of the worst reputations as far as John Deere tractors go. I had a hydraulic issue about 7 years ago that some members of this forum helped correct. (Clogged hydraulic filter screen starving the hydraulic pump of oil causing loss of hydraulics.)
Im looking for some thoughts on whether I should try and buy a JD 146 loader to install on my current John Deere 2010. Another option would be to buy a JD 2640/2840/2940 tractor with a loader. The latter is more expensive, but Im not sure how involved installing a loader on the 2010 would be? Id say Im mechanically inclined to do the work but not sure what struggles Im up against. Would any of the other newer models be a better option for a loader/tractor combination? The price of loaders currently are about $3,000-$4,000 and then my time installing.
Basically, should I bother with the 2010? I still plan on purchasing another tractor that is in the 70-100 hp range or larger in the near future.
