Thinking about a Ford 1210

Eric_Whitney · Oct 16, 2003

I am looking at a Ford 1210 with a mid mower. The dealer is asking $4900.00. Not too sure about the hours but the dealer thinks its a 1985. Anything to look out for with this model? What do you think about the price?

Is it hydrostatic? Looks about the same size as my TC18. Also has the same turf tires.

What are you using it for?

checkout, machinerylink.com for market and specs on this 1210, Get the serial number and you can find out the year on this site

2wd geared and that price is about $1000 high, 4wd hydro that price is about right but be careful with a 19 year old hydro. big $$$ repairs

Hey that dealers lot looks real familiar......Franklin Tractor /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
They don't have the serial number listed on their site , but it has 345 hours.
Talk to Dennis, Ned or Katie.....unless she's out having the baby.

Well I bought it!! I got them down to $4500.00 out the door. So far I have mowed about 5 acres and I am loving it! Thanks for all the help. I'm sure I will be posting when I have problems. Does any one know where to buy new rims and/or tires online?

Eric,
I was wondering how it went for you. I live in Grove City, would love to come see your new purchase. Franklin is where I bought my TC18. Great people in my opinion.
