6600 Ford
Great Do-It-All For Small Farm
Model Year: 1979

This is my first tractor and enjoy it. Owned it now for a year and a half and I still like it. 70 horse PTO allows me the option of putting up 4X6 bales. My 6600 is two wheel drive, but with the tires filled it does okay in mud and snow. This tractor starts great down to about 20 degrees, any colder and I plug in the heater and it still fires up first try. It is a good all round tractor that might not be perfect for one particular job, but can do ALL of the jobs.

Pros: Simple, easy on fuel, stable.
Cons: Cold weather starting aid would be nice (I use kat's coolant heater for cold weather).
