Ford 870 BH

[Paddy]

A tractor shop near by has a Ford 870 BH, I think it's a 870.

It's for sale for $1200. Sounds to good to be true. First, it is mounted on a 8N. There is a home made frame attachment for the bottom mounting and uses the top section of the 3 point hitch. It has a seperate pump mounted to the PTO.

The size certainly looks small. But then, if you have a small tractor...

What do you think?

Sorry,

That's a Ford 758.

I'd like to have a BH for my future compact, is it crazy to get the BH first? I hear used are to come by and would not likely buy new at the going rate.

At that price, see it in operation. Worn bushungs are spendy to replace, and slop in the joints is not fun for backhoe work.
