I have been thinking about buying an old tractor for a little while now, specifically a ford 961 row crop wide front, but I don't know much about them. What price range do they typically sell for? Which is better, gas or diesel? I hear bad things about the SOS, which is why I am looking into the 961, and not the 971 or 981. Are the early 4000's any better than the 961's? Are there any pros and cons of the 961 vs 4000?
I am referring to the early 4000 (1962-1965 according to tractordata.com) that is nearly identical to the 961. 961 has a 5 speed, 4000 has a 4 speed. I believe they both have power steering. The tractor will not be used for any kind of farming. Maybe some mowing, but that's about it.
Thanks for the replies.
