Are these 340 industrial tractor Good ? What are the good and bad of these?

They are a good reliable tractor, designed for loader work. They could have come with our without a 3 point lift and PTO. If it also has a backhoe that was used a lot, then it might be a little wore out. They are basically the same as the 3600 ag chassis model that was made at the same time except for the front axle is a single piece, non-adjustable axle that is stronger than the 3 piece adjustable width axle that the ag chassis model had.

The early ones have steering problems when worn. After went to hydrostatic on late ones cured that problem.
