Meet the Ford 1700 compact tractor!!! 

Thanks for watching!!!. My father got an old DPW/Highway Department 1600 at a town auction many years ago, that my brother now has. I see a lot of the old Japanese built Fords around here, still in use 30-40 years later.

Yes sir, They are great little tractors.

Thanks. My brother has a 1710, and a 1600. My uncle has a 1920. Lots of these Fords still in use around here.

Thanks for checking out the video Brad!!!

You’re welcome! They made a great tractor for sure 👍

Thanks, I'll look into it!

I'm not picking up on that. All I hear is the exhaust rain cap rattling... Which gets really loud with the 2 cylinder 2 stroke vibration hahahaha!

I hear you there. Keep in mind I purchased it about 5 years ago when things weren’t crazy expensive.

They are handy!

It does indeed! It’s a great tractor. Thanks for watching!

If you prefer red, you could get the Shibaura version of the 1700, the SD2200!!!

It will easily lift it. Getting enough traction to use it effectively with only 2wd and turf tires is another matter.

@@BuildALotAcres cool! Thanks for the advice. I was trying to decide whether getting a 4' but big R only had a 5 footer.

@@haroldyazzie3538 A 4wd 1700 or 1710 etc. with ag tires would pull a 5'er imo. The way mine is set up, I think it would struggle to get enough traction.
