I really appreciate all the comments and Michael's offer on the IH234. I finally found some photos of the 234's, and apparently they are between 18 and 24hp. I know that's too small for what I need. HP ranges that could work for me would be 35 bare minimum up to around 60 in the right tractor. Compact size would be a great help, and the 584 pushes that some. The Freeman loader bugs me a bit although I realize if it is in good shape and I take care of it it might be OK. OTH, I agree with the comment that because of the brand it doesn't add much to the value of the tractor. Unfortunately, there are few loader tractors for sale around here (NE Washington state). I've owned IH and they worked fine. I found an Oliver 1550 which (for some reason) I love, but they want $5,500 and it has no loader. If I could buy a truly, "built in America," unit, I'd enjoy that (I used to collect Deere's). So I'm still trying to sort all this out with only a few units around here to actually walk up to and see. Dennis
