smoreau 658 #2 Posted August 6, 2014 Found out a few things about this monster,its a AM2, 2 Cyl 2 stroke 23hp diesel, true 4x4, and the rear 3 point can lift 3080 lbs! but it only weighs 1760 lbs. Rear pto has over 17hp and the company is still making articulated tractor today. I belive they are originally from Canada. Quite a few dealers in the USMostly in heavy snow or mountan reagons from what I see on the map. http://www.holdertractors.ca/homepage/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shorts 182 #12 Posted August 12, 2014 the county and airport authority use the newer ones here, I've passed on several of the forward control rear engine ones at auctions here. the small ones appear to have 3.9 b cummins engines, hydrostatic transmissions and a boatload of hydraulics, 3 pt and PTO forward for mostly snow and some grass duties Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
