Those Ford 7710 tractors where a pretty good tractor. Fords issue was larger row crop tractors. They really did not have one until the Genesis series tractors came out. The TW tractors ended them around here for serious field work.

Years ago I would have bought a new Ford 7740 mfwd tractor but Ford motor credit wanted a larger down payment than I wanted to give. I bought the JD 6400 I have now instead. The JD 6400 has been the best tractor I have ever owned as far as working day in and day out with few troubles. It just turned over 17,500 hours.
 
I personally think he would have been better off just leaving that corn field alone. The stalks will deteriorate over winter as they protect the soil from erosion. Then make the pass he's making now in the spring and plant. The fewer passes over the field the better.
 
Those 77xx series tractors are handy, but at only 85 hp or so are too small for many jobs today. My
brother had a 7700 and it was a good tractor.
 
Yes I knew of a guy that drove a TW 10 ( Or was it a 15? I can't remember ) for a farmer and he hated it. For one thing he did not like having to look around that ship's funnel of an exhaust stack all day and he also said it was so heavy for it's h.p. compared with other makes that if you drove it into the slightest wet hole in a field and it went down on it's axles and you were stuck!
 
I'd like to have one like that, assuming the cab's got AC. Not enjoying the heat and dust so much while round baling anymore.

Stick a quick attach loader on it for feeding in the winter...it'd make a great addition to the fleet.

Ford TW-15 0.109 HP/lb, JD 4250 0.101 HP/lb, CIH 2096 0.104 HP/lb. Looks like Ford had higher HP/lb.
 
just arnt very good tractors for your dollar, no resale value,we have two dealers within 50 miles and still cant sell them
 
The Ford will bring half of what the CIH will bring and the CIH will bring half of what the JD will sell for. None of the Ford TW tractors around here will sell for much of any price.
 
Larry:

Come on now, tell the truth, it wasn't a question of being "a handy tractor", you just photographed it because it was BLUE.

LOL !
 
My uncles that carried on dairy farming in SE MN were die-hard Ford tractor owners. 7000, 8700, TW-10, TW-15, TW-25. Still using blue New Hollands but told me he'd still rather use the 7000 if it had a cab with heat and A/C.
