Is there a certain part of it that intimidates her? Could it be the Size? Height? The double gear shift? Something else? Find out for sure as I think you might if you get a 3000-4000 that it just might have same problem. I had 2 of the 4000 with the 38" wheels and also a 5000 With 38" wheels. So very simular to your present tractor Minr were gas and started like a car, now a diesel I think is more complicated to start and stop, could that be the problem? Then I hated that independent PTO you to make a quick stop of everything had to remember the tractor foot clutch and also to grab the PTO lever. I would have prefered a PTO like earlier models with the two stage foot clutch, panic stop and just push foot clutch all the way down. So before you go buying something find out for sure what she does not like, is it too tall? When I sugjested the Ford 860-861 or early 4000 I was thinking smaller foot print, lower height, single stick transmission, quick panick stop 2 stage clutch and gas with start more like the car. But powerwise would still do what your curent tractor will do. But take here after you question her to find out what she does not like about yours to look at any and all models that might not have the problem she has with yours. Could also be smell of diesel exaust, me I cannot stand that, I have gotten sick from that out in wide open field. I was used to non live PTO so that when I hit clutch every thing would stop not having to mess with trying to rember that pto lever stop as well. That is why I do not like an independant PTO.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
