my buddy knows where there is a 1010 sitting for either 2200 or 2800 bucks, it has a front end loader on it also. i have not looked at it yet but i was wondering what i should look for problem wise if i do look at it, is this a good price also? i have got a fergy to30 that is running good but the front end loader on the deere would be nice to have, how does the deere and fergy compare? i am fairly new to tractor so any help is appreciated. thanks, chris

Gassers, particularly the later 1010's are fine. It's the diesel 2010 that can be a headache.

Let's just say that the 1010 wasn't Deere's best effort. Some are OK, some are good and a lot are real problems, especially an early one. The people who have them have love/hate feelings towards them. Some really like them and some wish they had never heard of a 1010. There are much better machines out there for the same or a little more money. Why take a change on a problematic model? The 1020 is supposed to have been much more reliable. Hopefully others will get into this discussion.

I agree with CPeter.The 1010 and 2010 diesels were about the bottom of the Deere barrel in reliability and design in my opinion.The 1020,1520 & 2020 were a major improvement over the 10 series(especially the later ones) and the 30 series were almost as great an improvement of the the 20 series in the Deere utility tractor lines.Try to find a nice 2030 or 2630 and you will think you died and went to heaven.

On the other hand, if it's a gasser, in decent shape, running with a loader, he'd be hard pressed to find a newer machine at anywhere near that price.

I bought a 1963 1010 gas w/ loader this spring. It is in very good shape and runs good. I paid $6500 for it. My only complaint is that it is low on power - have to pull a 6' disk in 2nd gear. However it is nice sized utility tractor. With a loader, this is a steal.
