Good running little Ford tractor loader package. Everything is working like it should, even the two headlights work. Starts right up and runs nicely. Clutch works properly and PTO works. 4x4 is working as well. Great little lower priced compact tractor for someone who wants to get some projects done or maintain their property. Tractor always starts up even in the coldest weather we've had this winter. No leaks or mechanical issues that I've seen. Tractor has a 3 digit hour meter and has turned over once, so only shows 61 hours. Very minimal wear all around so 1061 hours seems accurate to me. This is not like the cheap light duty subcompacts that are sold today. Housings are cast iron not cheap cast aluminum. Built to last and handle a little more abuse. Very simple to maintain and no complicated electronics. Japanese designed powertrain, so similar quality to the John Deere and Kubota tractors. Tough to find a good running 4x4 tractor loader under $9k nowadays. All original paint, extremely rare to find them that the grille/hood isn't pushed halfway into the engine. Tractor still has a nice look to it and you can tell the previous owner didn't abuse it. And yes it only has 16 horsepower but the gear ratios on these are matched accordingly and will still push into any pile of dirt or climb any hill you may have. Plenty of power to run any 4 foot wide PTO driven attachment you want
TRACTOR IS OLDER AND NOT EQUIPPED WITH ROPS STRUCTURE. OPERATOR"S SAFETY IS NOT BWS QUALITY USED EQUIPMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY. USE YOUR HEAD AND KEEP LOADS LOW TO THE GROUND AND BE CAREFUL ON HILLSIDES.
