Hello & WELCOME to TBN!

I moved your thread to the Ford/New Holland Owning & Operating Forum.

I grew up on a mid 70's model. It was a great tractor, I don't remember any issues with it at all. Kinda wish we still had it around! I remember when they sold it it brought more than what they paid for it brand new!

They were very reliable in general. Most issues tended to be minor and common to other models as well (shared parts).

I think that the x600 series tractors were some of the best ever built. I have a 2600 that is 30 years old. Other than routine maintenace, the only repairs have been a PTO seal and a rear wheel seal. That's it, and the tractor has about 1800 hours on it now.

glad to hear they are a good series of tractors going to go look at one tonight hope it is worthy of buying.

looked at tractor found it to be a 3000 series also there are some minor leaks on hydrolic hoses and one on the shifter lever that ingages the pto also the back tires need replaced all in all needs a lot of tlc. There asking price is 6800 is this resonable. How can u find out what it is worth?

I think it is a little high. I bought this Ford 3055 for $3500, with a wore out 6 foot JD rotary cutter 8 years ago. It is essentially the front end of the 3000 with the rear end of a 4000. But it put out 54hp.
Easy to work on and parts are no problem. Only regret selling it when I bought my Mahindra 620 4WD with loader and backhoe. I would love to have it back for mowing and BB work.
Good luck and happy hunting.
hugs, Brandi
