Anyone familiar with a Ford 1120

[skgolfer]

Am considering a Ford 1120 with a woods loader and 54" pull behind finish mower. It is a 1993 with 550 hrs. Price is about $9k. Any comments on the machine itself and whether or not the price is fair.

Thanks.

I have a Ford 1120 and like it a lot. I paid $8500 and it had
100 hrs on it. It came with a five foot Rhino bush hog and a
five foot blade, but no loader. I recently put a Bush Hog loader
on it and love it. For the tractor you are looking at,$9k doesn't
sound to bad, since it allready has a loader on it. They are a small tractor and have limited power, but for my needs it works fine.

When I lived at home we had a 1982 Ford 1100. Not sure of all of the differences but I know it had less horsepower than the 1120. It was a hard-working little beast and I was sorry when he sold it about a year ago. No problems at all, not even minor ones at about 1000 hours. It pulled a 48" rear finishing mower and a single-bottom plow just fine. The ONLY complaint with it was the relatively cramped cockpit, I'm 6'1" and about 260, so maybe I'm to blame even for that.
