Marc, in my opinion the 3010 diesel is an excellent tractor for general-purpose work. The only drawback to them is the 24-volt electrical system, which is good as long as it works, but can be expensive to replace components. I have converted many of these tractors to 12-volt, and they work much better. If you ever have a major electrical component fail, in my opinion that is the time to convert it. With a 3020 injection pump (which many have been converted to) and 3020 sleeves and pistons, a 3010 can be boosted to 3020 (or above) power levels. A very nice tractor for all-around jobs, and still a modern tractor even though the newest is 36 years old. Hope this helps. Mike
