I have owned and farmed with a 1030 for the past 12 years. They are simple to work on, but have a couple drawbacks. They have no differential lock or torque amplifier. Most times I do not need either as they will power thru the tough spots. T/A's are expensive to repair/replace. The only thing I don't like on my 1030 is the power steering is a bit week. They use a power assist type of steering but on the bright side one year I was hauling corn to town and the power steering went out and I could still drive it. Same thing with the 966 and it's hydraulic brakes, you loose hydraulics you loose brakes. I rebuilt the power steering system on my 1030 and it works okay, does squeal from time to time with a full set of weights on the front. The 1030 STOCK will out pull a STOCK 966 any day, do it all the time at pulls and in the fields. 1030's do not like much ether, and either tractor is a cold blooded SOB. I would go with the 1030 just because they are cheap power, easier to repair with a minimum of tools and they made enough of them parts are around. If you do buy the 1030 make sure to ask if the guy feeds it a ton of ether, ask when the last time the heads had any service work done and find out anything wrong with it. I paid $2000 for mine, and it needed brakes, belts, hoses, alternator, batteries, fuel lines, fuel sending unit, temp gauge, and the front end was sloppy. I think I have about $4000 in it now and it runs and works very good, used it yesterday pulling 5-16's in 4th gear plowing up the old oat field.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
