Hello to everyone,new user here. what a great website, tons of helpful info. Well here's my story,after trying to recondition some much neglected horse pastures ( bone-dry,cement hard rock and clay) with an old 8n and worn out implements I bit the bullet and went tractor shopping for a diesel.In desperate need of a fel and new implements the budget would only allow a no frills L3000DT. I was shocked at what this tractor could do compared to the old ford. So then I read some where on this forum where guys stated when they have real tough jobs they park their diesel and use their old gas tractors of similar h.p. with coments like the real measure of a tractors power is engine displacement. My 3000 seems to have twice the power of my old ford? Am I missing something here?
