What Gives? This Useful Feature is Rare on Compact Tractors (Plus Setting up a 3-Point Plow)

I agree, the leveling box is so handy. To adjust the arm on my Kubota I got to get off the tractor and fiddle with that ridiculous thing. The leveling box on my 1960 Ford 601 was nice, especially for on the fly adjusting from the seat for grading the driveway.

Thats the one thing I miss about my 1989 ford 3910. Nice video.

Thanks for watching! I’ve run a 3910 before. Solid tractor. Much larger than the 1700 that I have.

I went and got old and needed air conditioning. The 3910 was a good tractor, but I like A/C a lot more! :-)

Because most people now days don't even know how to use a tractor properly, let alone how to adjust them.

So don’t sell your old whatever that is. My Ford 601 that thing barely moves at all. Fights the whole way but I always have something on it.

Thanks for watching! This is a Ford 1700. I keep the mechanism well-greased but with a heavy implement lifted up on the 3-point it’s hard to turn. Usually I just set things down to take some weight off the hitch arm and adjust. The 1700 won’t be going anywhere… but I really could use a larger tractor - for more weight and more loader capacity.
