farmtrac 435

Can anyone tell me about farmtrac 435? I've seen a lot of post about other farmtrac models but not this one. I have been able to find some info on the net, but would like to find someone who has used this mode for some input. How it runs, is it worth looking into, what is the price range. I would appreciate any info
Thanks, Pnut1999.

Since no one has replied I will try to tell u a little about them. It is nothing more than a FT35, model number changed this year to FT435. Reason for model number change is the fact they all pass the new level 2 emissions specs, aka new injection pump, and they now have spin on filters instead of canister type.

Its a great, basic tractor, around 32 PTO HP, almost 3100 pound lift capacity, reliable as ****. The drawbacks to this tractor are that it has no power steering and therefore could never handle a loader. If you want a FarmTrac that can handle a loader around that price range look at the FT 535, which is the exact same tractor but with power steering. We sell FarmTrac and Massey and I would run a FarmTrac with any other tractor any day. (Of course they are nothing but old Fords anyway). If you want a great basic tractor it would be a great choice.

My dealer was running a special all summer on the FT 35. Tractor with a 6 ft. finishing mower or a 5 ft. rotary cutter for $9,999. Guy I work with just got the FT 435 with both implements. He's happy. My dealer moved a lot of those tractors in the last 6 months.

I bought the FT 80 in the spring. Real work horse. Well made at a decent price. Love that shuttle shift.
