Theres actually 4 of them with in 10 miles of me. I have not heard a complaint from any of them. Grandpa did add wheel weights to his because the rear end was light with a loader (no fluid). All but one of them are fwa. Two of them have the 12spd and 2 have the 24. One of the local dealers will not sell a 12spd only a 24, Im not sure exactly why but that might be something to look into.

I had one for awhile. I had it with the 4WD and cab. It has the cummins engine and full cast iron frame. They are a nice simple tractor. The worst thing about them is shifting ranges. They have some counter weight on them or something else and you have to really throw it to get it to go.

I traded mine off on an RT and the RT is a lot more refined.

I guess only have the two speed powershift on my hills made it difficult to find the right gear and power. Still a nice tractor.

Looking at one with a loader. Has about 1100 hrs and is 2WD. Thanks for the input.

It should be fine for loader work if it has the hydraulic reverser. I think some came with a mechanical reverser which would be a pain. the 24 speed would have the hydraulic reverser with two speed hi/low range. Three ranges four gears in each. That's what I had.

They are great tractors we sold a ton of them. the 12 Speed is just a little unhandy and the couple we sold the customers never really liked the shifting so we quit ordering the 12 speed.
