RAH, if you're happy with that 1070, then maybe that narrows it down for me. I looked up the specs on the Deere, and they are very close to the 3100 series. The 4100 is a lot bigger, but maybe I don't need that much tractor. They are both hydros.

Gully, I hear what you're saying. I bought a new 4wd pickup in the fall of 2015, and haven't had it in 4wd, on the street, one time. And only a handful of times off road. Most of the utility tractors are actually 4 wheel assist, not full-time 4WD. I don't intend to use front wheel assist every time I climb on, just when needed. And having 4 wheels pull does give you the ability to brake all four wheels also.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
