Hi, I have been lurking for some time, I think this is my first post. Been clearing a building lot for several years. Decided I needed a small tractor, (you can change this to cheap if you want). Found a Ford Model 1110 with 644 hours, 4 wheel drive, owners manual, and FEL. FEL is wonderful. Put a boom on the 3 point hitch, it is increadable what it can move. Has cut the Advil consumption by half. FEL is wonderful.

If I had bought tractor when I started the clearing I think I would be done now. I know one shoulder injury would not have happened. I would take a picture of it but my wife just got a new camera so I need to relearn everything on the camera again. Sorry so long but I sure like the tractor.

The longer you own the Ford 1110 the more you will LOVE it. Mine is the older 1100 with 702 dozer blade, but I also have a 3 point hoist that I built with a cable winch. The hoist gets used at least once every other week. Most recently I used it to lift the 14hp Kohler engine for my Ford LGT14H off the basement floor and set it back into the tractor frame. You may be interested to know that the 3 pt is rated for 800 lb lift. It's also amazing what you can push with 4wd and some rear wheel weights.
Welcome and good luck!

:congrats:Congrats on your new tractor. Bought a Ford 1900 with FEL a few months ago myself and love it. Nobody could see the reasoning why I wanted one at first but that's all changed now. My wife and sister inlaw are keeping me more than busy now that they can see what can be done. It's my first but probably not my last, I'm already getting two footitis. :thThumbsU
