Gentlemen: Thanks very, very much for your safety-related advice. This is exactly the kind of thing I need to hear. I grew up driving an 8N on a farm with no steep hills.

Or should I be going back to the Oliver 770 or 880 I liked but thought was too tall? Some of the John Deere utilities (like a 1020) look "heftier" -- are they? Is there any central source for learning the wieght of a particular model? Again, thanks so much for your help. I don't care what color the tractor is, but I do want it to be safe! Bob
