you'd be surprised. I've bought some pretty homely tractors ont he cheap that turned out to be real workhorses.
my 'hay mover' a ford 850 with a superior loader is one of my ugliest tractors... smokes.. rattles.. drips a lil.. but will pick up a 2000# in the loader and move it..
Agreed Soundguy. I guess I don't plan on putting it in an parades. The previous owner had owned it for 15 years, said they never had an ounce of trouble..........lets hope it stays that way. :thumbsup:
