Hi,
I'm looking into purchasing a 1972 Ford 5000 gas tractor with a loader. My wife and I purchased 12 acres to
build a home. We plan on maintaining about 3 acres of grass. The land has been farmed for years so I would
use the tractor for land development (bushhog, snow clearing, tilling, etc). The tractor cost is $5400 and
seems in very good shape. The loader is very heavy duty (700 series). I would like information (pros and
cons) of the Ford 5000. Is this too much tractor? Gas vs. Diesel? Reliabilty?
Thanks,
