I find my Super 90 Massey pretty comfortable to operate. Easy on and off 
the platform. Steering and hydraulic controls good. At first I thought 
that downward push clutch pedal was a bit strange but I find it is very 
handy , I can push the clutch or engage it while standing up. Very 
nimble and maneuverable tractor compared to the Case 730 or Cockshutt 40 
and that Perkins diesel is just so thrifty on fuel that it is my first 
choice for most jobs. Just wish it had about half the hours that it 
does. Someone else got the best years out of that tractor.
