Friends dad bought one new, still has it today, rebuilt the motor once. The 2020 seems like a darned good tractor, I like the 8 speed and the park feature on that trans, hydraulics are strong, he uses a boom pole and tows logs with it. Pulls that 3 bottom JD plow he has in thick loam/clay topsoils. I've run a tiller behind it, has live pto, 2 stage clutch. His is a gas model, he had to change the fuel shut off on the carb, it's kind of a solenoid, shuts the fuel off, I forget what the deal was, I changed it out over a year ago, some pesky nuisance type problem, OEM part was a couple hundred, think we eliminated that and used another part # adjusted the carb etc. Overall it's been on 85 acres its entire life, and has done everything from backblading snow, cutting, raking, baling hay, towing logs, etc. since new. It handled a 6 foot tiller with no trouble at all, and it seems to get decent traction in snow, with loaded tires no chains, I've see that thing walk through drifts in high gear, not sure what any inherent drawbacks there are with these, sure seems to be a good one, maybe diesel would be better.
Like was mentioned the Ford 4000, and or many of their models, hard not to appreciate those, we've got a 3600 ford that is a reliable tractor.
