Have to argue with you a little bit, and also agree with some of your comments. I like the differential lock because stepping on the brakes alternating sides while you are spinning through a mudhole is very hard on things in the rear end. And you aren't supposed to try turning with the diff lock engaged. The foot throttle pedal is very useful on a loader tractor so that you can slow down easily while approaching the hay feeder or trailer and use the loader controls, shift, and steer without having to mess with the throttle also. As for the locking brake pedals, I agree. Oliver had a better system with the middle pedal that pushed them both to where they would catch. The vinyl seat cushion is useful for us that don't have a cab and keep our tractor outside - instead of having a seat soaked full of water we can just take a rag and wipe the water off. I use an air cushion in the summer so I don't sit in my own sweat. It has coils in it that lets air circulate around you. The bumper is a waste, if people would watch what the heck they are doing you wouldn't need it. Our 1256 is over 30 years old and doesn't have a single dent, and we use it on the loader!! The 1086 is around 25 years old and also dent free. What do people do to dent tractors???? Here is a good one: the ether can built right into the tractor! If I wanted loose head bolts I would use a wrench. If your tractor won't start without ether, plug it in or fix your injector pump or injectors. The 1086 will start unassisted down to around 20 degrees F. Remember, these are just my opinions and experience, take it for what it's worth. Steven

Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
