My bad on the loader specs, btw. I was relying on the Tractordata specs, and it turns out they were not in accordance with the NH 140TL loader, and the specs between that loader, which I now own and the Kubota L3901 loader are very similar, when using the numbers in the manual.
So, one of the things that had me leaning toward NH was misinformation, and again, I should have checked the manual. At any rate it's done. We had trade in day on Friday. Both machines are looking pretty good!
I will say that there is an enormous difference in the ride with the larger tractor and larger wheels, much more than I ever imagined. It's going to take awhile to get used to the two pedals instead of the treadle. I liked the treadle, except in the winter when ice would get under it and I'd have to climb down and clear it out so I could go in reverse.
Anyway, I thought the older one would be my last big toy before the dirt nap, but now I have what is most certainly to be that..
