Well, we needed a second tractor in the same hp class as the Kubota L3200 to help with various tasks around the farm so we didn't always have to swap 3pt implements as well as for manure spreading. Been looking around for a while at various options and finally found this Ford 1710 and fell in love instantly.
Has about 700hrs on the meter, one owner and never had a loader so the front end is in great shape. It has always lived in the garage and the paint shows. Hopefully it gives us a good many more years of service. No remotes yet, but does have a good working 4wd.
With it came a very nice condition Ford 951 5' mower which will be handy for mowing the headlands and when things get away from me Front end of the tractor is a bit light with the mower on the back, but we will eventually make a better weight bracket for the front with a grill guard.
One additional bit of interesting information: According to the serial plate the tractor was made in the afternoon on the day I was born...felt like a sign.
