On Craigslist there is a Case 1030 for sale. It looks real nice.

I pull my JD 4200 rollover plow with a 4320 with a Hinson Cab. I would like also have an open station tractor with less vibration and noise to pull my plow. This is a heavy plow, 3x18" rollover. Would the 1030 handle this well on the hills and clay of Western Wisconsin? This has to be a stable tractor as it can be a little scary plowing on steep hills and a heavy mounted plow.
Also:
I drove a 930 or 1030 for a neighbor when in high school but I don't remember much.
What can you tell me about this tractor.
Is the rear end quiet? I am trying to get away from a lot of noise and vibration.
How reliable is the drive train?
Would the hydraulics lift this plow? Sorry, I don't know the weight but the JD 4320 lifts it easily.
How comfortable is the seat? There is a chance I would put an air ride seat on it.
Other comments?
Thanks.
Paul
