| New poster here, long time "lurker", I'll get to some introductions later. Quickly though, I've been in need of a good utility tractor in the 30 - 50 hp range for awhile now and been looking around for something priced reasonably, not worn completely out, that's either JD, Ford/NH, Massey, or Kubota as those are the dealers that are closest to me. I've found a 1971 JD 1020 diesel that's a one owner unit with 2,230 hours on the tractor. It's a swept back front axle machine, looks like a rack and pinion rear with a set of Michelin 14.9x28's at about 70%, got a JD 520 front loader on it that the owner put on in 1996 with the joystick attached to/in front of the right fender, comes with bucket and hay fork.
Tractor appears to be in good shape for it's age, paint is nice, been in the barn, and he's got the original bill of sale from our local dealer on both the tractor and loader.
The guy has maintained his 40 acre homestead with the tractor - mainly bushhogging, garden plowing, trailer pulling, fence spraying, but I remember the old Andy Griffith show with the clean, nice older car and older lady that turned out to be a lemon..........so any issues with this model to look for/be aware of?
Asking $8,000. Firm. Cash. About right for a 39 year old tractor? | |
