Just wanted some review/feedback on 4 tractors I am comparing before making a purchase. My main uses would be planting wildlife food plots, tilling, mowing with 6 ft brush hog, using 8 ft disk, and Id like to use a 7 ft king kitten rotary tiller.
Tractor option 1: 1981 John Deere 2240. 39.6 hp drawbar. 50.4 hp PTO Tach shows 5,800 hrs(might not be accurate), JD 145 loader, 2 rear remotes, no ROPS, average condition. Engine sounds good, PTO works, and hydraulics/3 point hitch. Owner asking $8,000
Tractor option 2: 1980 John Deere 2440. 50.4 HP drawbar. 60.7 hp PTO Tach shows 7,800 hrs(might not work), JD 146 loader, 2 rear remotes, no ROPS, slightly better than average comdition, engine sounds good, PTO works, hydraulics/3 point hitch. Owner asking $10,500
Tractor option 3: 1990 John Deere 2555. 56 hp drawbar. 65 hp PTO. Engine 77 hp Basic model, no turbo, 2 wd 1,633 hrs 2 owner tractor, excellent condition, JD 175 loader, Canopy, 2 rear remotes, 540 PTO Knowledgeable owner with good service records. Asking $19,000
Tractor option 4: A friend also found a possible 4th option with a John Deere 2150. Dont know much about this one except it looks nice, has a loader and cab, with 3;800 hours for $8,600. All rear remotes are used by loader.
My thoughts are considering option 3 because it has the most power comparing all 3, most likely several thousand hours before major service, and I can use it to do hay work in the future.
Interested in feedback and using this to make my decision. Thank you.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Diesel Vs. Gasoline - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: " I am in the market for an older tractor (to be read... cheap). I have been told a diesel holds up better than a gasoline engine as far a wear, tear, neglect and abuse.
