Hi Everybody, I am still looking for the perfect tractor. Latest find is a Ford 3600 sitting on the local NH dealer"s yard. Looks pretty good cosmetically, spoke to the dealer and he says everything is working as it should. Has an almost new Great Bend loader mounted with joystick control. Made in 1978. Price is $7900 which seems to be on the high side, but within reason for the tractor. Anything special I should look out for when I go start it up tomorrow?

Anyway, I am looking for any new comments. I did search the archives and it seems like a pretty good little utility tractor.

BTW, uses for tractor include almost anything necessary on our 15 acres with horses.

TIA,
Kirk

If it never had a loader until recently, you may be OK. The front axles are weak, and problematic if used even moderately heavy as a loader tractor. They are great little tractors, but I would check the front axle out very closely, especially the center pivot. I wouldn't buy a 3600 that has had a loader on it for 25 years. I held out until I found a 4000. that has a much stronger front axle, wet brakes, and independent PTO.

I have a 3600 with a loader on it and I love it! I have hade no trouble with her at all. I paid $7500 for mine a few years ago without the loader. It was in very good condition. My cuz has a 4000 and likes it but its a thirsty beast.
