Buying Advice Kubota Ford 1320

[Maritime Matt]

Looking to buy my first tractor loader. Definitely want hydrostatic trans for the work I'll be doing. Saw one advertised as such. Is this a Kubota with Ford's name and paint? It is 4wd and hydro trans? Good machine/any one have knowledge?
Thanks
Matt

Thanks for the info. Where would parts/maintainance items be gotten from? Ford/New Holland dealers? Wondering why its advertised as a Kubota/Ford tractor.
For info, he states 1800 hrs on the machine.
Thanks.

Major parts you can get from NH. there are on line sources for clutch parts and components. you can cross reference for consumable stuff such as hyd fluid, engine oil and oil filter. it is for sure is shibaura (Japaneses made). Either it was said Kubota by mistake or confused. I think a well kept tractor of that quality and vintage would go for at least 3000 hrs. How much are they asking? does it come with a loader?

Matt, if this is the one in New Jersey on Craigslist, I think it is a Kubota loader painted and mounted to that 1320.

1320 was a great tracotor, shares alot with the TC30/T1510. I'd shy away from one that had a Kubota loader hacked onto it.
