Thoughts on a Case-IH C-50

Was looking at one of these used and see it was only made for 4 years. This one is a 1998. It is in the HP range I want. Any thoughts?
 
The underlying tractor is a very old and proven IH design, going back to the 1970's or farther.

The main difference is it's Perkins powered instead of IH. Up to that series they all had IH engines.
 
i have a c80 and i love the little guy, have no major problems with it and they improved things for the older IH like the 584 and i also have one of them also and restored. if the right c90 comes up i might that one too. great for hay and auger work.
 
Bought its big brother new in 99. A cx90. Love it. Yes they were only made 4 years. When caseih and ford joined they had to divest the line. Sold it to mccormick. They continued it several more years. What parts i have needed have been no problem. Only have 2000 hrs on mine.

I have 99 cx100 Of all the tractors I've had big or small this is my favorite. Perkins is bulletproof, controls are user friendly.
 

Last of the IH era utilities built since the 70s, proven design, C series just perkins power instead of IH engine.

C50 last of the following line:

3220
495
485
484
454
 
I'm probably the contrariety here after havine the Pukins in the Uni Dad bought back in the 80's the smoke and hard starting I would junk a Pukins and put most anything else in a machine including an old Screamer Deriot in. With block heater and an 8D battery in it we needed more battery and ether to get it to start in winter use. I Don't believe it was tired since it had the power it did chopping and that would prove the difference I would think.

152 perkins 3cyl in an MF starts easy, well below freezing and no block heater or ether.

Couple gallon of fuel will run it a few hours raking.
