[QUOTE="jltrent, post: 1537746, member: 21075"] That is the model tractor I learn to drive on. I have put probably a couple thousands hours on a Fordson Dexta. My dad put me on one at around 5 years old and by 7 could operate what equipment it would handle, as I was big for my age. As mention before, they are pretty light in the front, but could probably handle a 4'x5' bale (might need fluid in the front tires and keep it off hills) As far as power they are rated at 32 hp, but not a lot of difference between them and a 3000 Ford power wise. Starting below 20 degrees is no fun and I have never seen one with power steering. Also it is bout impossible to put hydraulics on. Keeping the oil off the dry brakes is hard to do as I learn how to operate bout brakeless. Also the gears would lock up if you wouldn't careful how you put it in reverse as you had to take the top gear plate off and reset. I know the tractor well. It would handle a 5' bush hog well, 451 NH sickle mower, plow tobacco, rake hay, etc. They have a good engine.
