I have a Ford 1220 4x4. It's 14 hp or so.
I'm thinking about switching to a Ford 1600 2x4 that is 23hp or so..
The 1220 is 1992 and the 1600 is 70s.
I just don't like the hydrostatic trans on the 1220 and could use more horsepower.
Am I just crazy for going to an older model?
Both have loaders. The 1220 has a belly mower, but it needs rebuilt and I have never used it.
I need to sell one of them and the 1220 is the one I like least.
I've been trying to figure out a fair price.
Should I sell both and just use the money for a slightly larger model?
I need to move a lot of dirt and gravel in the next couple of months. I could sell one or both and get a skidsteer instead.
Anyone have an opinion they are willing to share on value or which I should try to end up with?
