Dextas were almost all 3 cyl Perkins diesels that were very stingy on fuel. Gasoline models are extremely rare but I have seen one.
They don't AFIK have power steering.
The perception, if not the reality, is that parts are hard to come by and this probably hurts their price. Since the latest models are about 50 years old this may have some effect on their prices.
They are very good, live pto, tractors. Back in the day the regular Ford tractors had a very poor 4 cyl diesel. People leaned toward the Dextas for diesels and the 4 cyl Fords for gas tractors. A 2000 Ford Dexta is the latest model. Complicating things is the fact that when Ford came out with the 3 cyl 2000, 3000, and 4000, the Dextas were still being sold, briefly, with the 2000 model designation. So if someone offers a 2000 Ford for sale of that vintage a.lways ask if it is a 3 cyl or a 4 cyl.
