Just a lurker/newbie here looking for some advice. I have a JD 970 (FEL and 4WD) I bought a couple of years ago. I have only put 80 hours on it in around 30 months. I knew it was overkill for what I bought it for, but it seemed to be a good deal. The tractor has been great, very solid and performs well. I decided I would like to down-size. I saw a little Ford 1510 (FEL and 4WD) that looks a little rusty from dairy work that I might be interested in. I have an offer for $11,000 on the JD (665 hours) and the Ford guy said he would sell for $4850 (957 hours on the 1510). Do these prices look reasonable? And is their an concerns with the 1510 and the associated dairy work (the tractor has a lot of surface and deep bucket rust)?
Any input would be appreciated.
