Thanks for all the good advice, and clarifying the true meaning of Orange!

Haven't ruled out the JD or Kub just yet, but all this feedback, along with my own doubts, has me re-thinking trying to get into something red again, even if it's a bit older. My IH 584 has been a solid, reliable, metal machine - but's 2WD and I keep having close calls in the winter; and the wife says she'd rather have me than the insurance money(...most of the time anyway).

So what about a CASE IH 3220? I see a few out there at a reasonable price but I know nothing about it. What's its PTO HP? Can I engage the PTO without hitting the clutch?

I turn a 7ft wide snow blower with the PTO, and carry a 2500lb sander on the back, so I'm inclined to go not too much lower than the 52 PTO HP IH 584.

If not the 3220, you guys have any other suggestions? Need liquid cooled, as I need to put a cab on it, and those use the water to get heat.

Thanks again for the feedback!
Jim
