Went by a small dealer lot a few nights ago and saw a Ford 5610 Diesel with loader. Good tin, good paint, tires about 60%, less that 2500 hours showing. Loader was solid, no apparent leaks, and bucket not bent up. Early 90's model.

I've been looking for tractor/loader combo of this size. What are the pros and cons and track record of the 5610. What would be the high-low price window?
 
The II models should have hydrostatic steering. I have a 6610 II, it is a great tractor.

I have the inline pump, and it is important the oil get serviced in it, or you will need to overhaul it. Make sure it runs smooth now, or may need pump overhaul already. Mine needed it at 2300 hours because PO never serviced it.
 
If it's a late model with an inline pump then the pump oil doesn't need to be changed. Base oil is circulated through the pump so you just do regular engine oil changes.

As far as value goes on the tractor... that would depend greatly on the options. It could range anywhere from 10k for a 2wd open station 8 speed up to 25k for a MFWD cab model with a 16 speed.

We went to a dealer south of us & bought a 1992 5610 series II for 11,500. It had a great plains loader on it, however we chose to purchase it w/out the loader. Back home we had a 5000 gas with a Westerndorf TA-26 detachable loader on it that we had all sorts of attachments for. So, the dealer took 2k off the price. Same hours range that you stated. Tires have 30% (16.9x 30")no fluid in the rear tires. What sold us was that it was low hours & didn't appear to be tinkered with & the sheet metal was straight. We use it to bush hog, move round bales, & cut hay with a haybine. It has plenty of power & rarely ever hits the govenor. Nice tractor, stoutly built. If you look at the 5000, 5600 & so on, they got any issue from the past right with this model. Just my 2 cents.
