I bought this tractor last month from it’s 2nd owner who’s had it 22yrs on a front mounted post knocker as part of his fencing business. We were the 1st owners and it was the first 4wd owned by us and the tractor I drove when I left college. It has 13,500hrs on it now so 9000 more than when we traded it.
The wheels were set out at 80” for stability when it came back.

Moved wheels into 64” and it’s being used for irrigation currently.

You wouldn’t think it was the same tractor somehow!- it’s like a spot the difference competion, exhaust looks shorter, no spot lights on the cab, ford decal missing etc etc.
Looks in not bad order all the same, and it would be a fair tractor back in the day, a bit newer looking than a 7610/ 6810 that ford sold before that.

That’s an interesting stone rake, do the tunes work on a ram and flick he stones up onto the grid?
