FORD 1210 and buying used compact tractors Part 2 of 2

[@johnbender1596]

Just a note of advice. These were very good little tractors. If you ever feel it is losing HP or the hydro is weak start with removing the muffler and operating it again. I have found these units with clogged mufflers and customers always think the engine or hydro is the problem.

@John Bender thanks for the advice. It’s a nice second owner tractor that will mow all day. 16hp on the engine and 13.5 on the PTO, it has it’s limitations. As long as you work within them, everything works out. Looking for a 4 foot rear mower to place on the 3 point. As soon as I do, it’s going to mow around on the farm starting in spring next year. 805 hours and it’s still going strong for a 83-85 1210

How much is a 1220 worth I want a small tractor for my property maintenance business to grade driveways and stuff mow some grass maybe dig a little I know they’re small there’s a 1220 with 638 hours near me for $7500 with a loader and belly mower there’s no dents or scratches on the paint it sounds healthy is it worth that much?

@@mrdfarms9373 my neighbor has this tractor. Looking into a new John Deere. Neighbor said it’d go up my trail. 300’ 15° slope. He’d let me try out the tractor. I plan on it when it stops raining. As long as I can safely do it is all I care about.
