[QUOTE="Cowcatcher, post: 4012270, member: 43171"] Yessir and the newer tractors are getting worse as far as stability and ride comfort. They keep making them smaller and more compact. Heck yeah they are more nimble and nice for working in tight spots but they ride in the field like crap with these short wheelbases and lightweight construction. My experience is based on 90hp to 120hp tractors built from the 70’s to current. Those old 40 series John Deere’s have what appears to be a 20’ long hood but that’s why they ride decent and can carry quite a bit of weight. In my opinion, you used to could get by with a smaller horse tractor because it had some lead in its ass. Nowadays I wouldn’t want to operate anything younger than 20 years old that is less than 90hp. It’s cool they are squeezing more power into a smaller package but there’s definitely negatives.
