I'm looking at a VAC for sale but wondering about it.
It's a VAC with the 3pt hitch. I'd say great shape for it's age, I think the paint is original. good tires. Nothing looks wrecked or bent/damaged sheet metal wise. No smoke or leaks to matter much.
So I'm curious what it's worth? Is it worth 2k the fellow is asking?
I did a bit of Google searching and see a range of prices, I see some say they're worth 800, etc. (Maybe what a rough but running one is worth?).
I grew up on an H and a SMD, so I'm not totally in the dark when it comes to the pro's and con's of a tricycle tractor. Knowing nothing much about Case tractors what are the strengths and weaknesses of this VAC? Im thinking it looks more like it's comparable to a C than an H. Any chance a guy could find a PS setup for a VAC in this era?
I have absolutely no reason to buy a VAC other than I find it interesting (I have more modern tractors). I'd maybe use it for some light hay raking or cultivating on small acreage. "Maybe" pulling a square baler sometimes if it's not too light.
