We bought one new and still use it as the main tractor on our 700 acres of cropland and dairy operation. We have 8000 hours on it and its still going strong. Never been overhauled still has the seal on the fuel pump. As far as that other post calling the 436 ci engine gutless, Id put it up against anything else in its size range. We pull a fully loaded 15' no-till John Deere Drill even though everybody said that was way to big for our tractor. We also pull 650-700 bushels worth of wagons with it and it doesnt even faze it. It is a great machine to work with and would definately buy another. Just make sure it has been taken care of reasonably well, and not turned up and it should work fine. Only downside is the TA but they are fairly easy to have fixed and parts are readily available.
