The 30 series used a hydraulic drive on the front end, and it is not built as well as the MFWD. Hydraulics create heat, leak, etc. while the mechanical systems stand up better. Older 4wd tractors like Steiger and Versatile are pretty cheap power, especially dependable if you find ones with the Cummins 855. 4-150 uses 3208 Cat engine- some call them throwaways- easier to replace than fix. 4-210 is built much heavier. Slower running engines stand up better than the high speed like 3208. Cummins are great for torque. Stay with the simpler features on old ones- they get spendy to fix when they break down, and you can't afford to put much into an old horse. Basic tough pullers just need a solid engine, simple tranny and basic hydraulics. Articulated have fewer problems than Case with the crab, 4-way steering.
