Hey folks,
Just found this tractor and think I may want it. Are they any good? According to the details it has no problems except for worn tires and a couple cosmetics. But it says it starts/runs good but smokes.

My little tractor is 24 HP (1964 IHC) and does what I need, but is too close to the weight of a full weight of the water tanks I move for the horses and does quite a bit of damage in wet conditions. Tough little thing but also a little lite to handle it (hard to steer) when you hang a round bail on the frt loader or have a container of wet manure hanging on the back (swims and/or lifts the frt a little). This one is 1974 and 46 HP.

Bought mine when we had 2 horses and not much heavy work, have expanded a little now and use round bales/have a lot more sh!t. I think this would be a good replacement but don't want a money pit.

Any input/advice would be appreciated.

There is a link to more pics under the one on the ad.

gas or diesel? They're a tough little tractor, I wouldn't hesitate if it was a good one.
 

Diesel. My space is limited and my existing tractort is 5ft wide and 10 ft long (empty). Are these much bigger? Tried to google the measurements but didn't find anything.

Thanks, Dave

1020 is a great utility tractor - but I don't know where you're getting the 46 horsepower figure from. I have two of them. 1020 uses either a 135 cubic inch gas engine, or a 152 cubic inch diesel. Both are three-cylinder and both Nebrask test # 937 Rated at 38.9 horsepower at 535 PTO RPM, and 36 horsepower on a 1000 RPM PTO. 31.8 max drawbar horsepower.

My Deere 300B backhoe-loader also has the same engine - it's basically a 1020 painted yellow with a backhoe stuck on it - and better hydraulics.

ignorance.... The ad says 34kw which converts to 46 hp. I didn't know any better. These tractors have the 2.5 diesel.

I'm an Oliver man,but I've had my 1020 Deere with a loader for 27 years now. Been pretty trouble free. I use it everyday to load silage. Load manure a couple of times a week. Anything that's ever gone wrong,for the most part has only happened once. One major overhaul,one clutch,hydraulic pump rebuild,steering unit rebuild. Just a dependable little everyday user.
 
this has been a great machine for us. The only complaint I would have is the extra long throw of the clutch,makes for some less than smooth starts at times.
 
Dave, I know you are in Germany so are they the same models over there as in the US. Here they are the H for high with 36" rear wheels, R for the regular model with 28" rear wheels and L for a low built mowing-orchard type of tractor and are the 38 PTO HP tractors. Never heard of a S model so that has me wondering. What type would it be?
 

Haven't went to look at it (300 miles away). Several ads for the same type all convert to about 45 HP, but the engine size is the same as what JD said (diesel). Doesn't mean much as folks cut/paste from similiar ads and don't know there are differences. Just googled it and found a tractor lexicon that says 45HP (could that be just engine HP and not after it travels to the PTO?)

12.4x32" and 6.5x16" tires and the "S" for servo (power steering). Guess I need to find one local and take a good look at it.

Dave
 
It has to be something different than what was sold here in the USA as a 1020 John Deere as the last and only Deere sold here with 32" wheels was last made in 1946 as the model H and then they were only a 8" tire. 45 HP on the engine only would convert to about 38 HP on pto tho
 

Thanks! Been thinking though. My little tractor is right here and I know what I've got. For the money and time spent getting this one, I can make a few adjustments in the way I do things and and keep mine and still save a bunch of money. Besides that, my little tractor is red :roll:
