I had a block freeze out this winter on a 9N. I'm looking for something new. A dealer has a '89 Ford 1520 comimg in trade with a belly mower. Said he would be asking around $6500 for it. It has 1800 hrs. on it. Is this price in the ballpark or would it be better to go for a Ford 601 if in good condition at around $3800 without any implements. My use is mostly mowing and snow removal. What is a average yearly hour usage on a 25 - 30 hp tractor ?
