I have a JD430 which replaced the JD420. As far as I am concerned, it is not near the tractor that the Ford 100 series and above are. That vertical 2 cyl is noisy and really not a pleasant/nostalgic sound like the larger horizontal 2 cyl's. The only reason I own it is round out the other two 30 series JD's that I have(730 and 830). The WD45 had a great engine and was a really functional tractor, but the operator position/seat is only fair, therefore unless I had limited funds I would also avoid it . The D15 and D17 fixed this problem and really are good tractors, but are not as common as the Fords. We have a MF285 and MF265 and I have driven a MF180 and MF175. All are good tractors. I still say the Ford 861/400 would be a great match for his application. Plenty of power, all the features and great handling. Note: the "big" tractors we have are all CIH or IH with one MM.
