FORD1300 Ford
Ford 1300 Owner
Model Year: 1979

I have had this tractor for nine years now and it has been a good tractor for me. I mow 4 acres with a King Kutter mower. I also got the mid mount mower with it, but I like the ease and convenience of the tph mower. I also have an Allied 60 inch snowblower to clean out my 300 feet driveway and large turnaround. We have had an average winter this year and it got a workout. The last few years we have had record snowfalls (lake effect snow) and it had never failed me.

Pros: Works for me
Cons: Could use more horsepower

FORD1300 Ford
Good Value
Model Year: 1979

I bought this beat up old thing and it runs pretty good. It has been neglected somewhat but I am catching up on the repairs. I have found new parts as I need them, prices are compatible with the more popular brands. I used it right away to do several projects around the property such as driveway grading, clearing woods and creating burn piles, scraping hills downs, and mainly moving compost piles. I like the features like the way it holds the 3 point at any position use set it. I would like a single stick FOL and a way to run the PTO separate from the driving clutch, but it does everything I've needed. I found that access in/out of the seat is easier than the Yanmars but harder than the newer Kubotas and John Deeres.

Pros: Good value used tractor.
Cons: Access to the seat.

Small
Model Year: 1981

I really like my tractor but think a larger model is needed for the things I found myself needing it for.

Pros: It's great for flower beds and small gardens.
Cons: I'm always very careful because of its size. Had a MF-135 before this tractor.
