ford 1220

Hi and again, thanks in advance, The three point lifts and operates almost as should, but as soon as I turn the tractor off, the three point lowers to the ground with the lever in the up position. There's a trim mower on the back at the moment and it never did this. I'm thinking there might be...

Hello all, I posted here a couple of days ago looking for advice on tires for my 1220. Apparently I'm learning the hard way how difficult it is to size up tires (R1's and R4's) for this thing without swapping out the rims. And I understand how important it is to maintain geometry/dimensions of...

Hello, I just picked up a Ford 1220 4X4 and it has turf tires on it.

He also explained how crucial it is to properly size...
