I was raised on a farm and grew up in a farming community where I had the sometimes pleasure of operating a wide variety of tractors and power equipment. Some even home made. And I will say that I have never found a bad tractor as long as you operated it within the design parameters. And on the flip side I never ran one that was perfect in every way. One of my favorite 50-75 horsepower tractors was the John Deere 2020. I ran one that never missed a lick.
