Couldja help me out? I'm still considering this tractor Ford 1720 I'm not sure of the transmission, but know that it has Front Wheel Assist.

Thanks!

The standard transmission for the 1720 came with 12 forward and 4 reverse speeds.

There was an optional 12x12 SSS.

Do you have any idea of the year? They were MFG from 1987-2000 best I can determine, with the 2000 selling new for around $14,000.

I've seen used ones from $4,000- $6,000.

Thanks gents. I'm pretty sure it's the standard tranny and that it was manufactured in 1986.

I looked at two or three when I was looking for another unit a couple of years ago. They are nice tractors. If they are still asking $10k, that seems on the high side to me. At least for this area if would be, but different areas have wildly different prices.

According to my book the 1720 was first made in 1987. Here are the values

1720,2wd,new price 9120, average trade in 2530, hi trade in 3640, average retail 5570, hi retail 6270.

1720,4wd, new price 10984, average trade in 2820, high trade in 4060, average retail 6210, high retail 7000

These have Shibaura engines, 3 cylinder, 12forward, 4 reverse, 23.88 pto hp

Location is the key with tractor prices, not so much 'blue book'. I just sold my Ford 1710 4wd 12x4 with 7308 loader and box blade for just under $11,000. It was in very good shape, but it sold the first day at that price and I had waiting back-up offers. In this part of Northern NV small used tractors don't exist, so when one does comes up it usuallly sells to the first serious looker.
