That is a real nice tractor, Bill.

My dad has a 950, and the 1050 has more hp, 33hp if I remember correctly at the pto.

I think the 950 is 25.
I remember from when me & my dad bought his in 87.

They have a 3cyl Yanmar diesel, and came in either 2wd or 4wd.

They are a nice, handy compact utility and are good for light use. My dad uses it with a belly mower in the summer and blows snow with it in the winter. He babies it and it has 950 hours on it. I would imagine that a 700 hr tractor would be almost perfect.

That tractor is probably worth around $8500 or so.
If you need a small tractor, it would be a good one. The hydraulics are not all that responsive, many dealers recommended removing the filter to get better response but I think you are asking for trouble going that route.

Good luck either way...
