I have started the search for another tractor. I currently have a TN70A that I use for Loader work etc, but I am looking to get a second tractor for plowing and shredding.
That being said, I have found a Ford 8000 Cab tractor at a local dealer. They just took it in on trade from the second owner who had it for 40 years. Per the dealer it has been in for regular maintenance and has 5500 actual hours per the dealer. No loader and the AC will be operational when they sell it. He has quoted a price of $15,000 which seems high for that old of a machine. But the thing does seem to be in really good shape.
So, does anyone have any input on these machines? What about the AC on a tractor that old. Is it realistic to think they can repair it and have it keep working?
Thanks for any input.
