I'm seriously considering a 1993 Ford 1620 diesel 4x4 compact tractor with a 60 inch belly mower, Sims cab, front loader with a 60 inch bucket, turf tires and 1540 hours for $13,000. Any advice? Thanks, Jim<br>

Hi Hillbilly,
when you first posted you made it sound like you thought you were buying a good ol' USA tractor (few and far between). I get a lot of customers who come in looking at used and WILL NOT hear of anything but JD. (That's OK cause I'll never Drive another GM product). The Mindset is that JD is as American as Apple Pie. Not the case anymore, but not neccesarily a bad thing either. I happen to sell a brand of a different colr as you could have guessed, But I will admit, JD's Parts & Tech support are second to none (as I eat Crow). I just don't like sales tactics that mislead the consumer. Give the buyer the truth, like it or not, and let them decide. Jim

when I say it has R1 ag tires I just mean the style-chevron bar type, I will find out if they are "rice" tires this weekend, more than likely they are still japanese tires. Like I said in my original post I've been looking for a long time and I'm not going to jump into this or any other deal till I'm sure all my ducks are in a row as they say. and I'd prefer to purchase one of the big three anyway, just looking at all options. I sure do appreciate all the good advice and comments here tho!

This is true!!!!
I was bringing in a 399MF (90hp) tractor last week from canada and customs held me until I could prove how long the machine had lived in Canada because the tractor is made in England, the fear of the disease being in dirt on the machine is real.

You Get what you pay for? Definately true when comparing Jap tractors to China Bombers. Getting back to Tillers, You all would be suprised to find out WHO is really making your "pricy" name brand tillers. The Italians make 75% of the tillers on the Market. JD,Landpride, MF, KIoti, NH, don't make their own tillers nor do thay make many of their implements at all. Yes Kuhn makes a good product at a premium price. Not for everyone. The King Kutter is Gear Drive, 6 Knives per flange, made in OHIO, and outweighs the competition by 20 - 50%.
We sell them w/a money back guarrantee that if it doesn't perform, bring it back no problem. have yet to take one back, in fact have sold several on referrals from end users.

Hey Aal, I had the same problem. Back in 1987 I had about 4 tractors. she said it was getting out of hand, no more or else. Or else what? now I have a 120+ machines and still no or else. I've been trying to see what "or else" means?
120 and she's still here!! how many do I need to accumulate for her to leave??
don't sweat it.

Not a bad price for a 2350 if it is 4wd, but they never made a 2350 in 1985. are you sure its not a L-235?

Joe, I've been in the trailer n' tractor business for 20 yrs. I have towed w/ 20 different vehicles, 100's of different trailers, and travel 100,000+ miles a year. my favorite tow vwhicle is my Freightliner FL. but, the pick-up works well too. I sell 100's of trailers ayear to Kubota, JD, NH etc. dealers and others. I think for what you want to do, a 8K capacity trailer, lowbed style,
max width (82-84'' between fenders) 18' long including dovetail would work good.
the dove cuts down on the loading angle and reduces the chance of the mower gettingcaught or the hoe dragging. An adjustable hitch is also a nice feature to be able to level the trailer to the tow vehicle. brakes and a brake-away kit are a MUST. Its not a nice feeling when the trailer is pushing you thru that crowded intersection. Also, dont get a trailer that is of minimum length. the extra room is nice to get your load set so as you have the proper tounge weight.

You know it's funny. It seems like the land in this country has changed in the last few years. Now, everybody has to have 4wd. For the last 65 years 2wd tractors w/loaders were just fine. I guess the "greenhouse" effect is having more of an effect than we imagined.... I have to agree w/Mark. Up here in the slimy, hilly wet N.E. 4wd's are nice, but I sell almost as many 2wd's as 4wd's
and the majority of the tractors on the farms are 2wd. As for the 850 JD, the 2wd is fine w/a loader, and ag tires. I have sold 20+ 850/950 tractors w/loaders and people are happy. there are several things that will make the 2wd acceptable. Counterweight, Chains(even a 4wd is useless on ice w/out them), and putting a little wider, heavier front tire on it. Also, the 850 has Diff lock.

In addition, The resalability of the unit on the used market is VERY limited.
and the storage room it takes up as well as the ability to transport it and the lack of ground clearance your tractor will have is an issue.
