I have a Hot Line" farm equipment guide that shows slightly different weights than the source Unimog used. 1720 with 2 wheel drive at 2,491.
1720 with 4 wheel drive at 2,711.
1720 with 4 wheel drive and shuttle shift trans at 2,690
Each with 23.5 PTO horsepower from a 91.3 cubic inch displacement engine.
950 with 2 wheel drive at 3,169.
950 with 4 wheel drive at 3,464.
Each with a 27.3 horsepower from a 105 cubic inch displacement Yanmar engine. While I have a 1720 Ford, 4wd, SS trans, I certainly feel that the Deere is the better buy because of the equipment on it. Well, if you would ever use it that is. You might never want use of a backhoe and might simply want to sell it to someone who does. That would lessen your expense somewhat. Are the tractors conditions similar? Hours of useage? A backhoe might put a lot of additional stress on one if used hard. Do both have nearby dealers to get filters and parts and service from? How about ease of regular maintainence? Does one engine turn at higher engine RPMs than the other? Slower often means more torque because of a longer stroked engine. Do you feel the need for the additional horsepower of the Deere? With loader and backhoe the Deere will be a lot less maneuverable and will weigh considerable more. Is that a factor when mowing, or is your area open? Tires good on both tractors? In my opinion from my own experience, Ford used really crappy tires. I had lots of problems with them and tried to get Ford to replace them within the first 25 hours of usage. I got no where from my appeals with Ford. Otherwise the tractor has been great. Best wishes on making a wise choice.

The Revival of a John Deere Combine - by The Red, John Fritz. For several years I had been driving by a farm house on the west side of Indianapolis that had a John Deere combine parked in high weeds in a lot behind the house. The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
