And it's rough. Woof.
2000 Offset. I would like some parts off of it, but that's about it.

Implements can go 'under' instead of 'behind' so you use the tractor weight to your advantage. Good for small lots, precise work and a general conversation starter. You see a lot of Farmall offsets on small farms. At least, around me in NC.

And as far as moving this thing, put a post up in U-Ship and wait a couple of days for the quotes to get reasonable. Bet they get <1k by then.

Mid-mount cultivators were the main use for any offset tractor here.
Regardless of brand. Farmall named some models as such, like the Culti-vision A.
It made it easier to see and follow the rows with the cultivators.
The Ford offsets are uncommon here while the Farmalls are all over.
The Oliver Super 44 is even more scarce.

I forgot to add a pic of my Culti-vision A.
I was traded this as payment for working on a Ferguson TO-20.
It had both mid-mount and rear cultivators, but no one really
wanted it because it was an early model with manual lifts only
and hand crank start only. No battery, lights, etc.

Early in my career in the gas pipeline industry, we mowed the plant yard with an offset Farmall 140. Why they
bought a new offset tractor to mow with, who knows? It had a Woods belly mower underneath.
One day there was hollering from a grassy bank on the west side of the plant yard; the new guy was mowing with
the offset down hill and the tractor started to tilt over; he was holding it up with both hands on the light
pole which happened to be right there; otherwise he would have turned over. It was known that you had to mow
that area with the offset uphill, but he didn't understand the importance of that until...
