We have had one in a diesel since new in 1972.
It has been a good and bad tractor the engine has been bullet proof as far as durability. The hydraulics now that has been another matter. Brakes and steering have been a constant battle to keep working. With many farmer modifications they both work quite well now. The front spindles are to light for a loader. It is hard to beat for manuverability in tight spots with that swept back front axle. Now we used it hard on a dairy till the last 15 years now it does a lot of hay handling in the summer. For just occasional use it would be fine probably. You want to get the external pump on it for the loader or it will be slower than molasses in the winter for loader movement.
