I don't have yrs. and yrs. of experience to speak from but my Oliver 550 has been an OUTSTANDING utility tractor. About 9 yrs. ago I narrowed my search down to MF and Oliver. I chose the Oliver over a MF just because it was diesel. I have been very satisfied. I now have other tractors but each of them for a specific task, my 550 is still my FAVORITE (until I find an Oliver 1650 WFE Dsl :) ) Of all the suggestions I would strongly recommend 2 things: a) Get more HP than you need today b) find some "color" that is favored in your area (my area is MF). Then if it breaks you have a ready source for parts or at least a knowledge base to become friends with. Best of luck and let us know how you make out.
