Farmtrac 270 DTC
Model Year: 2007
I bought this in the Spring of 2007 not long after we bought our property. To date, I've only put 100 hours or so on it. We just moved permanently to the 15 acres in Texas and I expect to start using it quite a bit after things warm up and dry out. So far, it has handled everything I've asked it to do. I've mowed 4' grass without a hitch, moved dirt, grated roads, and much more. No problems or breakdowns. I just bought a tiller and post-hole digger. There are times I wish it were bigger, but I got what I wanted, a modern Ford 8N, only better. It could use a set of rear remotes. I must admit that I was and remain disturbed that Farmtrac USA went under. It hampers resell value, for sure. But unless circumstances change, I don't foresee any need to move up. I will add that the tractor is short. I bought several used implements in a package deal. One of which is a six foot scrapper blade. Unfortunately, the height of the tractor does not allow enough lift to tilt the blade. Simply not enough lift and tire height.
Pros: Economical and powerful for its size. Reliable so far.
Cons: Dealer support. And it is short!
