Ford 1710 vs Farmtrac 300dtc

[ksscotton]

I need a little advice here.

I am looking to buy my first tractor and I found a ford 1710 w/FEL and 1300hrs on it and a farmtrac 300dtc with 850hrs on it that fit in my budget and and my precieved tractor needs. The farmtrac with no FEL is less $$$ than the ford.

which will be more reliable? easier to find parts for? anything else I should consider before making a decision?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

I had a ford 1710 about 10 years ago. I truely enjoyed the tractor and it never failed me. I was informed by my dealer that parts were hard to get and not being produced. Actually two dealers told me that.
