Oliver Super 55..... I'd look for a 'color' of tractor that is common in
your area, parts & knowledge will be easier to
find. You can get a diesel compact tracotor, many
are very good. Avoid the super cheap
Chineese or 'grey' tractors unless you really
know what you are getting into. Parts /
relaibility can be a nightmare. Stuff from Japan
is pretty good, parts can be difficult if it is not a
popular model. There are a few things to avoid, like Ford's
SoS tranny, be aware IHC's TA tranny wears
out a lot but is easy & fairly cheap to repair,
and so on - a gas engine block turned into a
production diesel isn't as strong as a block
originally designed to be a diesel...... What do you want in a tractor? Power steering for loader use? Live pto for pto work? Wide front for loader stability? Extra hyd ports for using hyd cylinder
equipment? Live hydraulics for the loader? And so forth. Come up with a list, & then look
over the models you have available, see what
you need, what you can live without. --->Paul

That is well within a
