New Member and Ford 1710 owner

[wkualum]

Good morning all.

Thanks for all the useful information in the years past. I finally decided to "join up". I just bought a rough but very good running 2,900 hour 2wd Ford 1710 loader backhoe for my little 10 acre homestead here. Seems to be a tough little tractor so far. I would have loved to have had 4x4 but hoping the weight of the BH will help with traction and that the hoe can also help with getting me free if I ever get hung up. I paid $4000 for it. Love to hear everyone's thoughts on it. Good and/or bad.

Welcome to a fellow 1710 owner. Great little tractors and it sounds like you got a good deal as well.

I look forward to comparing notes in the future.

Great tractor! I've had my over thirty years with few problems. Change fluids and it should give you years of service.
