Ford 1910 tractor.

[oz in SC]

A Ford 1910 tractor with loader and 60'' bushog is up for sale in the general area(by that I mean within driving distance... ).

It is a 1985 model with 135 hours on the meter.

4wd,12 forward 4 reverse gears and has ag tires.

Asking $8000.

What y'all think?

That is our tractor you are thinking about! We love it. We paid $8,000 cdn for ours 5 years ago, a 1985, with 600 hours on her. $8000 included the new paint job and an up grade to a new 6' brush guard.

135 or 600 hours is of course nothing. We do not have hydraulic steering, which would be nice, but have learned how to work fine without it.

All I've done is the standard maintenance. Oh, you will need to blow out the radiator, which means lifting the hood every 5 or 10 hours when the dandelion or other seeds in your areas fly -- it will heat up if you don't.

Ours is amazing and we have used it for everything. It is like a much bigger, and heavier tractor. GET IT, AFTER you have it checked out. We had in our deal a mechanic would check and if anything wrong then the seller would pay some.

Mechanic found a leak and the clutch had not been relieved, like the book says -- you put a block under the pedal, to depress it when not using for a longer time.

Anyway YES, buy her, we love ours.


This is Tilly-Two-The-Tractor, five years ago right after her new $300 paint job (included in the price). She has been working since then and could use some touching up again. And oh my gosh the brush cutter sure has been used a lot since then -- I've got some welding to do.

Go for it.

I KNEW I had seen one on here...

It seems like a good tractor for us-not TOO big that we will not like using it but not too small that we will overwork it.

I emailed the seller asking for more info and also about perhaps delivery or a trailer thrown in for a few more $$$.

We will see.

Thanks for the reply.

I had a 1310, about the same model year. It was a great little tractor, but underpowered. The 1910 would have more horses...which would eliminate that problem.

No idea,but it seems sellers oftentimes give the hours and THEN mention the meter stopped working years ago.....

Which is kind of funny really.

My John Deere I bought brand new in 2002 ..has 60 hours on it right now. Just because a tractor has a few years on it doesn't mean it needs to have a lot of hours on it.

..$8000 seems a bit much for a 1985 ..but you seem very interested in it.
Is this the first used tractor you've looked at ..and if not ..how many others have you looked at and what were the hours and price range of them. If you've looked at numerous tractors ..and this seems to be a very good deal to you (all things considered) ..then trust your own 'gut' instinct!

All the folk that do own or used to own the Ford "N" series tractor would be amazed at what these little tractors will do so easily.

I have had a 1500 which was very under powered in my opinion. However I still liked it well enough to up size a few years later to a 1720, which is just a little smaller than the 1910.

Hours accumulate at rated engine speed so a lot of the compacts get less hours of use than the purchasers think they will. A lot of time is spent at nearly idling so they don't rack up very fast. A good example would be when post hole digging.

Does the 1910 have front wheel assist? If just two wheeled drive it might be a little pricey, otherwise should bring that in my opionion.

It is 4wd...

[catahoula]

Low hours, four wheel drive, loader and brush hog for eight grand, if the tires were good I'd drive it home myself for that.

[oz in SC]

Well it is within driving distance-meaning about 6 hours away.

Driving it to Washington State might tire you out....LOL.

[catahoula]

Six hours away by car, I guess you'd have to pack a lunch, maybe bring a sleeping bag. It does sound like a pretty good deal though.

Cross counrtry on a tractor would be an epic adventure for sure.

I wonder if anyone has ever driven across country on a tractor???

[rambler]

Those hours just plain sound all wrong - it only ran less than 7 hours a year average????? Pretty hard to justify the expense of it for so little use, perhaps something happened & it sat unused at all for 10 years - that is hard on seals & rubber parts, almost worse than if it were used a little on the hard side.

But otherwise, the price is only just a little high - good asking price maybe. Nice enough tractor, I have a 1720 which is 'in the family'. You would have the older front hubs & the older hydraulics. Not bad things, just what makes a xx10 worth a little less than a xx20 model.
