back in the day the 300u was the only tractor with ipto that we had to use on about 50 acres. ran a 9" new holland 488 with it no problems. puled a NH super 77 baler and later a NH 68 baler with it, again no problem. when the transmission went out of the truck, hauled tandom pickup bed trailers full of firewood out of the mountain to home 10 miles, very hilly no problems. pulled 3-16 plow about anywhere you wanted in 2nd and if the ground was loose you could roll right along in 3rd, but it would really make it snort. only problem was one year got no rain and the ground was so hard that when you did get the plow in had to drop back to 1st to pull it, and that was a 3-14 john deere trailer as it plowed a lot better than the 3-16 3pt in hard dry ground. lets see dug a fondation for a shed, disc, planted, picked corn, pulled an old MH 46 clipper combine, and honestly i dont think that there is anything i havent done that i didnt use that 300u for at some point in time. only bad thing i can say about that tractor is that it is the absolute hardest steering tractor i have ever came across, im sure that the ones with PS are no prob, but if there manual you are in for a heck of a workout.
