Insurance Insuring a Ford 1510 FWD with Allied Loader - replacement value

[Shupiuliuma]

I am about to insure for replacement value my Ford 1510 FWD with Allied Loader all in good working condition.

Would anyone care to suggest what a current replacement model would be from current manufacturers? I would be happy with Kubota, Massey, or Deere, but I tend not to pay premium prices for a green machine.

I use the tractor mostly for agriculture and tree nursery activities on a hobby farm. We grow garlic and trees for sale. Activities include rotor tilling, moving materials with the loader, splitting wood with hydraulic splitter and general hauling duties either with the loader or a small trailer.

Thanks in advance.

I've seen 1510's in the $8-10K range (asking price). I'd imagine an insurance company would be looking at info like that for determining the worth. With regard to current offerings, several manufacturers have ~21HP 4WD tractors.

Thank you for the reference. I will have to start making phone calls. LS Tractors are new to me.

One of the characteristics of the Ford is a high clearance over crops in beds. I think it might be difficult to find a modern compact tractor that has a high ground clearance.

Thanks again.

Thank you for your reply. I think you are in the ballpark with your valuation of a 1510. Makes sense.

Thanks again.

It will cost you $14.95 though, and may not go back far enough for your tractor. I don't remember the cutoff date, but couldn't get any info on my father's Ford 4400.
