Ha-Ha - Even the most rabid Deere fans admit the 1010 & 2010 tractors, especially the diesels are best used ONLY as static lawn ornaments. My Uncle bought a brand new 3010 diesel in '61 or '62, was supposed to replace his FARMALL 400, and he sent the 3010 back to the dealer THREE times complaining about lack of power, his new 55 hp Deere couldn't come close to keeping up with his tired old 45 hp FARMALL. Dealer finally turneed the 3010 up to 70 hp and the complaints stopped. DAD bought a '63 4010-D in December 1968, tractor already had the 4020 kit in it and still burned a "little oil", like 4-5 quarts per tank of fuel plowing with 4-14's and a Midwest plow harrow. It wouldn't begin to pull the 5-14 plow and harrow! On lighter work it's appetite for oil decreased. But there were constant little problems, tierod ends were junk, draft bar seals only replaced once, but right in the middle of corn planting, the pto shifted itself from 540 to 1000 cutting weeds with the trailing 6 ft Brillion rotary chopper, there were a couple new water pumps, always new batteries, blew the head gasket fall plowing maybe 40-50 running hours on a rebuilt injection pump. The brakes grabbed, the steering wheel turned a full revolution ultivating or plowing/disking our half mile rows.
So, sounds like NONE of the 10 series were very good. Oh, guy that bought the 4010 put a turbo on it, barely 6-8 months after finally getting it he broke something, LOTS of things, expensive things, and expected Dad to eat some of the repair expense. I've got the two BEST FARMALL'S we had out in the shop, '51 M and '54 Super H. I got a couple IH Cub Cadets that just keep running and running too.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
