Considering purchase of above tractor (1982/83), 2600 hrs, w/loader & finish mower. Haven't seen it yet. Has 3 cyl Yamar (sp)engine. In searching for info, ads, pictures, this model seems lacking. Is this a pig-in-a-poke model, rare, or just not much info available? You already guessed it, I know VERY little about tractors, but feel it will probably do most of what I want to do, although it might take longer than a larger tractor. Any comments, positive or negative welcomed.

I have the opportunity to purchase an 850 under 500 hours with front loader, blade, post hole digger, spreader, disk, brush hog, and boom arm. Is $12500 a good deal? I am new to the tractor game but have tried the tractor with loader, blade, and brush hog and it seems to work quite smoothly.

Any and all comments welcome. I must give my answer to the seller by this Friday, so answer soon :)

Thanks!
AW

I have an early 80's model, 2WD, 22 hp. The whole tractor is made by Yanmar for JD. I've had it about 2 years, no problems with it. Parts are readily available from JD. Early models have single stage clutch, no power steering, although I'm heard that a power steering kit can be ordered from JD for around $1100. I don't need the power steering, but I don't have a loader on mine.

Bill; I almost bought an 850 but the owner wouldn't budge on the price. It was a nice little tractor with 4wd, loader, hydrostatic transmision, and some implements. Ended up buying a 950 which is a little larger but has all the options. It's a great little tractor and anything larger would be a problem on my farn in the trees in N.C. Only problem is that I also have to keep some two-cylinders around to hear that pop-pop or thud-thud once in a while. Tugboat

Dan, Tugboat,
Appreciate your comments. Went ahead and made the purchase (@6,200). The loader seems small and the mower is a Woods 60". Tractor in fair/good shape. Will put in good/excellent shape before too long. It is two wheel drive 5 speed main with 2 speed aux.
I know nothing about tractors and was in a panic for info when posting message. Have done some research since then. Realize this is "antique" web site and maybe someday I 2 can have a Deere A or similiar "pop pop". I love that sound especially during a hard pull at meet. Will probably fade into background until my probation officer (wife) lets me get closer to owning one.
In the meantime I will learn more about these things and will be checking back now and then.
Thanks Again for all your help
Bill

I'm looking at buying a the JD 850 for $7,200. Not sure if this is a good price but the tractor looks great no visable leaks or anything paint looks good. Have you had any problems with the JD 850? Is there a way that I can find out the going price on this tractor?
