I've never used one myself but there's several around the area ranging from early to late models. The older ones like the 276 had small cramped cabs and were generally fairly light tractors. As someone noted you may need to move the wheels out for loader work depending on how you want the set. PTO's were perhaps not so strong on the early ones as well... and some of the cables tended to freeze up in this climate. Some people found them akward to work with; some didn't. That's a matter of perspective I guess. When you get into 9030's they used a Ford engine rather than a Cummins 4BTA and they had heavier axles. Generally a better tractor than the 276 from what I understand. When you get to the TV140... the tractor was completly redesigned from the ground up. These got the new cab with more room, a 4 speed gearbox behind the hydro rather than a 3 speed... a 6 cylinder turbo Genesis engine combines with Ford's traditional heavy planetary axles instead of the drop box system that the old ones had... so you got a lot more weight, a lot more power (140 instead of 120 gross) and generally a lot more tractor. I know the early ones around here had some problems with electrics but I'd think that would have been sorted out by now...

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
