Tractor
I'm not sure where to put this question, so I'm trying this forum. There is a vast array of knowledge on the rv.net forums. It's not really RV related, but It might be if I use the tractor to move ...

I have a 2wd 50 hp FT60 by Farmtrac who are out of business. The tractor is the same/similar as a 3610 Ford with new power steering system upgrades/more fuel and air filtering but the same 192ci 3 cylinder diesel and noisey and very tough. Its not a tractor to use for a hay ride. The tractor has 2000 hours now and with just a water pump/hyd pump change. Its all I need for 40 acres.
Ergonomics is terrible. The operator sits astraddle of the tranny with little room for the feet or even to turn around unlike the new gen tractors with a flat work station.
The 3 point lift is way down by the right foot old style unlike the newer tractors with it by your right hand.
The engine is hidden unlike the newer gen tractors that the grill and hood swing up exposing the radiator/engine/every thing.
IMO your better off with the newer gen tractor. Right now I'm looking at a swap for a 4wd 50 hp Kioti and fel. My other neighbor has a DK40 Kioti 4wd and is one quiet smooth running easy to use tractor.
