The 30 series used a hydraulic drive on the front end, and it is not built as well as the MFWD. Hydraulics create heat, leak, etc. while the mechanical systems stand up better. Older 4wd tractors like Steiger and Versatile are pretty cheap power, especially dependable if you find ones with the Cummins 855. 4-150 uses 3208 Cat engine- some call them throwaways- easier to replace than fix. 4-210 is built much heavier.

Basic tough pullers just need a solid engine, simple tranny and basic hydraulics. Articulated have fewer problems than Case with the crab, 4-way steering.
