The D17 IV doesn't have the reputation for being one of the best tractors allis made for no reason. We had a diesel model and it was a real work horse. The D17 is a really heavy tractor for its size, therefore has a lot more pull ability than a lot of tractors that size (The deere may be pretty heavy, but it looked smaller to me). Allis had the best castings of any tractor company at the time and probably still today. Think about it, the same material used to build the turbans for the hoover dam were used on that tractor's cast parts. You can't go wrong with a D17 series 4. I think you will like it a lot for tillate work, a very well balanced tractor weight wise also. There are quite a few people who pull 4 bottom plows (4-16) with series 4 gassers (stock motor, no mods) just fine. Also, the D17 will be better on fuel than the 2510 no matter what the engine. The 226 was a very efficient engine. Good luck
