Ford 1600

[Adirondaquer]

Any of you ever use a Ford 1600 with FEL and Backhoe?

Seems like a pretty heavy tractor for its size.

Anything good or bad would be appreciated.

That's pretty much where compact tractors started, so far as power to weight is concerned. All have trended to lighter and more powerful in the 30 years since the 1600 was built.
There will be a significant parts availability problems for any compact of that age. Newer tractors will have more capable hydraulics and power steering, and be more creature comfortable. If you can buy it cheap enough, and can put up with the time and effort involved in searching for used parts if the need arises, it may be worthwhile.
