Posted by Casey in Ky on March 13, 2016 at 18:03:49 from (107.77.90.28):

With the current farm outlook the way it is, I've scaled back on the price of a second tractor I'm looking at. I was actually lucky that I didn't go ahead buy something a little more expensive and be locked into it. Off farm job would have paid for it, but I like to keep the farm paying for itself.

So I've came across these two tractors. First is a 1980 ford 4600 diesel with a bushhog 2400qt loader. Good tires, 5000 hrs, 1 remote being used by the loader, dealer has it and says it seems pretty straight. Only thing he can tell that's off about it is someone replace the ignition with a push button starter and kill switch. Told me on the phone that $6500 would buy it.

Second is a MF 165 diesel with a loader if some unknown brand, good tires, 1 free remote, private owner for the last two years, thinks it's a 68 model, and the tach has been replaced and shows 600 hours. Asking $5000 but is negotiable and he's had it for sell for several months.

I don't know hardly anything about the Massey, and I'm pretty familiar with the fords, so in leaning towards it. Although I'm guessing $4000 would buy the Massey. Both are about 3 hours away, just in opposite directions. I'd be adding a roll bar and canopy to the ford and probably another remote and at least a canopy to the Massey. Opinions? Thanks.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
