First, this model probably doesn't classify as an antique, but any help would be appreciated. Anybody have any experience with the JD 850? Someone in a nearby town has one for sale. I called and was told it was purchased new around 1984. It has 770 hours on it, and was used by the lady's father in his garden. I would classify this model as a compact tractor. It is 2 wheel drive, diesel, unknown HP. They are asking $5,500 and no implements. I went to the JD home page today, but could not find this model. Any opinions?

I have a JD 950 (27 hp at the PTO)purchased in 1982. It has about the same number of hours. The tractor is a good reliable tractor and easy to maintain. The tractor is fuel efficient. I run my tractor all day on 8.5 gal. of diesel. The 850 is about a 22 - 25hp compact tractor. I recently check prices on the 950 and they range fron 5500 - 7000. The 950, new, cost me about 8000. The price you mentioned looks good. Good luck with this unit.

Large Robert,
BUY IT!!!!!
I have a JD750 that I bought new in '84. Mine is 4 wheel drive and has a loader and hoe on it. I would buy 5 more like it if I could afford it. The 850 is rated in the mid 20's horsepower range. Even 2 wheel drive tractors in that family (650-1650) are worth it. Here in Central Indiana that tractor would sell for about $3000 more than the price you mentioned.

You can't go wrong with it.

It's a very good little compact utility tractor made for John Deere by Yanmar in Japan. Front wheel dreve option is available on this unit and I'd highly recommend it, especially if you ever want to put a front end loader on it. Adding front wheed drive to one without it is prohibitively expensive, Also, if you're wanting to put a belly mower on it, be sure it has the mid-pto option. It can be added but is pricy! Sorry I really can't help you with price but some 700 hours sure is low usage.
