Can't speak to the 1900. I did own its little brother a few years back the Ford 1210. These are made in Japan by Shibaura. Mine was a tough little tractor and trust me I asked it to a lot more than it was rated for and it never let me down. Kind of wish I had held on to that one.

They can be a bit of a pain to find parts for depending on what breaks but most can be had even though the parts may have to be shipped from Japan. The local New Holland dealer had access to everything I ever needed.

One thing that I will say about this series of tractors is that they had a tendency to plug up the mufflers especially the one that ran horizontal with the hood. You could always tell they were getting plugged when engine started to run a bit sluggish and seemed to smoke a bit.

I was always able to get mine to clean out by tapping on the muffler with a hammer handle with some medium tapping for a few minutes with the engine running.

One thing that I would look for during a test drive is the diff lock. These units did not like to turn with the diff engaged. If someone has used the brakes to turn the tractor with the diff lock engaged they can break things in the rear diff. The diff lock would not always dis-engage when driving forward. I often had to back mine up to get it to unlock.

To test put it up against a tree and lock it in to ensure to both rear wheels spin. If the do then should be good to go. After the test make sure you lift up on the diff lock then back up about 6-10 feet and it should unlock.

As to your question about raking and light cultivating. That would depend on the rake and plow. If you are going to use a 3 point tiller you will want stay around the 48 to 52 inch at a max and the hydro trans version works better with the tiller as you can go really slow. Not sure of the geared version will be a slow enough ground speed for a 3 point pto driven tiller.

If you find a good one they are pretty darn good little tractors. Just my thoughts.

In the Western Central Missouri area these are running from about $4,500 to $6,500 for the 2WD no loader. If 4WD average is about $5,500 to $7,000. Add 1K for loader. Again this in my area.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
