800-1 Ford
I'd Do It Again!
Model Year: 1955

So far, it's a fixable tractor. I have enjoyed learning about these tractors, as well as using it for plowing, discing, mowing, moving dirt and gravel, pulling logs, or just riding around my 5 acres. The tractor had been converted from 6v to 12v by a previous owner. I have had and currently am having an issue with the battery needing frequent charging. Other than that, some leaking around the rear end, but I don't intend to do anything about that for now. For an old tractor, it is very functional. I have purchased used equipment for it - plow, disc, pond scoop, grader blade, boom pole, and bush hog. I have less than $3500 in tractor and tools together. One of my wife's sewing machines cost more than that!

Pros: Enough power for my use. Easy on gas, too! Works best in long run situations, such as mowing, etc.
Cons: Steering wheel wears me out if I have to do a lot of maneuvering in tight spots.

Hydraulics
Model Year: 1952

They can be a little slow. Have to bleed the system before I can do any work.

Pros: It's okay.
Cons: It's okay.
