Looking for an all around tractor. Found a 1010 gas relatively close to me for sale. Any pros/cons on this tractor?

Did it have Live PTO? I have been told it does, but can't see where that was even an option on that tractor.

Size good for a 6' mower?

I have a 1010 and use it to pull a 5' mower. I think it would pull a 6' one but would have to pull in a pretty low gear. I pull the 5' mower in third gear. In thin stuff I have used fourth and in heavy it has to be second gear. Mine does have live PTO so I just figured they all did. But there are some negatives. The hydraulics are pretty different from most other J-D's and my dealer refuses to even work on 1010 hydraulics. 1010's are not numerous so parts are harder to find. I had to go to the dealer for brake discs because none of the after-market people had anything that would fit. The brake locks are a pain. Mine has adjustable rear wheel hubs rather than spin-out wheels. I still haven't been able to get the bolts loose in the hubs, but fortunately it doesn't matter that I can't adjust the rear wheels. Biggest drawback it seems to me is that they don't show a lot of power at low rpm's. Some have power steering on them (mine does not) and I wonder how well that works given the power limitations of the tractor.

I think they are a decent tractor, they had a bad reputation because of the sleeve deck and finicky hydraulics, But there are several people who really like them, and if it was well cared for that makes a world of difference. It depends on the price and shape weather it would be a good investment. As far as the brush hog, my 2010 pulls a 6'mower and will bog down on tall wet grasses. good luck

I just picked up a 1010. Once I get the radiator fixed, and the carb. it will be great. I plan on putting a 5' mower on mine. I don't know about a 6'. Good Luck trying to get help on this board, with a 1010. They either don't like this model, or don't know anything about it. I have better luck on other boards.

I have a 1010 RUS. It will not handle a 6 ft. mower in very tall weeds/grass. I use a 5 ft. and that lugs it down quite a bit. Live PTO is an option but mine dont have it. Lots of problems with the clutch and hydraulics too. What other boards do you use for help with your 1010?

Gary,
It sounds like you have the same 1010 I had 15 years ago.
