Hi Don

My buddies race four wheelers and they have all the painted parts on their bikes powder coated (frames, A-arms, swingarms, subframe, engine mounts). The finish is tough, but it can chip if hit with something. I think the prob with doing a versatile tractor would be the size. They would need an oven large enough to put the frame in. It would have to be a bare frame with sacrificial bolts in all tapped holes. Otherwise you will be retapping these holes afterwords to clean the coating out of the threads. All parts would have to be done individually, meaning everything has to come apart. Personally, to do the whole tractor, I think it would be more hassel than it is worth. Some smaller parts it may work better for ya, like if you sent the steps or push bumper out to get done, the powder coat would definately hold up better than paint. fwiw
