I must be the only person in the world who has a good word to say about the 2010 or one of the few that has a good one.

Sure there are some design shortcomings since it was the first all new design after the 2 cyl. The 1010 was pretty much a copy of a 420 or 430 ? The hydraulics were not really strong but for years ours pulled a 3-14 mounted plow, and also a 8ft disk, cultipacker and spike tooth combo. It was the first one I learned to drive and I spent a lot of time on it plowing. Ours was never abused or made to try and do more than it was designed for and has been a good tractor that still contributes today.

Grandpa bought this one new the local dealer sold 3 new ones and all 3 are still going strong as far as I know.

This is a gas utility version that still sees regular use on a finish mower, sickle bar mower and pulling wagons, and fertilizer tanks. Not to mention she will always start in the winter even at 20 below to get everything else going. Either to remove snow or if you need to run a PTO generator to run block heaters to get the diesels started because the electric is off.
