QR Code Link to This Post
12 forward speeds,
Dual brakes
Can be used in 2 WD or 4 WD
Independent right and left brakes are an aid in steering in mud or on ice.
ROPS roll over protection system with seat belt
Also has a nice canopy to keep the sun off of you as well as hail, sleet and snow and rain!
SMV (Slow moving vehicle) safety sign on the rear, making it safer to drive down the county road.
There is a pedal to "lock up" the rear axle for better traction on ice, snow and slippery mud.
With the diesel engine, these could easily go 5,000 to 8,000 hours without much expensive maintenance. This one has only 1837 hours.
Starts quickly and runs great. Does not smoke
All gauges work.
The rear 3-point can lift 1575 lbs.
The Ford 770B loader is factory-matched and is rated at 850 lbs. with a break out force of 1600 lbs.
There is no timer on the glow plugs for cold starts. You can hold the switch on as long as you like. It starts quickly. No smoke.
(By the way, the antifreeze is "good" for -25 degrees.)
There is a rear PTO with the standard 540 RPM, and correct, clockwise spin.
There is an engine heater that you plug in when those cold blasts start coming, although with the new heavy-duty battery, the tractor still starts pretty easily in cold weather.
The seat is crazy-comfortable, and it's adjustable, not only forward and back, but it is adjustable for the driver's weight, with a nut you can turn to make it higher or lower, on spring tension. Really comfortable for those of us who are lighter weight, and even nicer for those who have a little extra, or are taller. And it goes up and down when going over rough terrain.
You can buy "non taxed" off-road died diesel for it at most farm-type places.
A new Ford like this now runs about $30,000 and has emissions equipment.
Things needed: one of the headlights got broken, and the other lights need to be hooked up if you want to run the tractor in the dark.
(I was nearly knocked off a Ford 800 tractor by a tree limb I did not see about 35 years ago while mowing weeds as it was getting dark. I would have fallen right in front of those large rear wheels) I have always felt that using a tractor in the dark, even with lights can be dangerous, so I never hooked them up.
Firm on the price! No trades, please. I also could sell you a rear angle blade, for $350 if you are buying the tractor. "cash on the barrel, please.
