Anyone know anything about these? Are they any good or should I stay away for a work tractor.

My dad bought one new in 76'. Traded it in 78'. We encountered several problems. Tilt steering was prone to develop leaks. We figured out not to use the tilt feature. The hydraulic fittings used rubber rings to clamp down on the tube. They were prone to blow out. You had to replace fitting if this happened. Cronic overheater. Had to be split for clutch repair the first year. Saw it on the dealer's lot several times as a trade in.

Several guys I know have had them or the 9700. They have had problems with the giant u-bolts in the rear wheels getting loose and stripping the hub out. The dual power is expensive to rebuilt. The shift linkage can get funky.

Some guys swear by them. They are fuel efficient, and the 401 engine is very good. It all depends on how the machine has been kept. The guys I know that kept them always had a bucket of new fittings and front hub bolts.

Ford seemed to develope a pattern of getting their
new 'big' tractors to the farmer's field, before
they had the bugs out. Then the big ones tended to
be quick trade-ins for some other color. The best
purchase value, for a 'keeper' work tractor, may
well be Oliver/White, in 86 HP & up. These are
solid tractors, not perfect, but priced well below
real competitive value. Ford 5000D/6600D were good
runners in the 65-70HP class. I would pass on the 9600, a White 2-135 is a 135HP brute. Look at one.
