<p>The little 2010 Deeres are bashed even on the 10/20 series Deere
Facebook forum. Those guys in that group are the real deal on that
series, helped me with technical info when I rebuilt the 4020 last
year. Very little BS there, so if they say those are junk, I
believe them.</p>
<p>Dad is 88, spent from 1968-1991 working for an IH dealer. He
never cared for anything IH had with a 2 point hitch, nor did he
like the brakes (or lack there of) on the 400/450.</p>
<p>My grandmother bought a new 3010. It was probably the worst
tractor to come here, but it was also the most abused. It was just
too small to be the big tractor. Being the first diesel, it took
some getting used to--such as don't use too much starting
fluid--they busted a piston trying to pull start it and using too
much ether. Of course most folks regard the entire 10 series as
lead off batters for the homer the majority of the 20 series hit.</p>
<p>Really hard to pick out the 10 worst. A lot of time it was only 1
or 2 things wrong with a model, other times it was just NO dealer
network. Basically if it wasn't IH or Deere, everyone here
regarded you as a lesser farmer if your tractor was another brand
with a dealer hours away.</p>

<pre wrap="">Two of the 10 were made by Fiat. Another 4 were from brands eventually acquired by Fiat. Amazingly jd has 2 of the 10.
Massey Ferguson had a dud. They used a Cat engine. Should have stayed with Perkins.
