ok, I am looking at a 1948 TO20 that I can get. My 2 questions are

1...for a tractor that is in good running order, and everything, what is it worth? how much should I pay. I realize that is not totally answerable...but give me some basic ideas. Right now the guy uses it a few times a year to scrape a driveway, or dry lot of horse manuer etc, and that is about it.

2...I have horses that i feed large round bales of hay to. I was wondering if I can put a fork or something on the back, and lift and cary round bales into the lot? the bales weigh 1200-1400 lbs.

Thanks.

I use my To20 to move bales with. If the bales are dry I can move them without much trouble. If they are wet I usually wrap a chain around it and drag it.

That is expecting too much for this tractor to lift, the maximum you can expect is 800lbs at the end of the lower links, the further you go away from the tractor the less it will lift. This is providing the hydraulics are reaching full pressure.

Re: 1948 TO20 a bit much for the lift... in reply to Michael Compton, 05-14-2005 12:29:55

Prices vary all over the map depending on condition. An unrestored working tractor might be in the $1000 to $2200 range. If rebuilt and/or restored it could much higher

You can put 3 pt forks on the back of the tractor, but I seriously doubt that the hydraulics can lift that much. I haven't tested it, but you are probably looking at about 600-800 lbs if the system is in good condition. And that would probably lift the front off the ground first...

check the serial number in reply to Michael Compton, 05-14-2005 12:29:55

I think 1948 was the first year for TO-20s. I know that #5 and #8 exist and are especially valuable. I would think anything under a hundred might have extra value...but that is just my guess....maybe others can comment on this.

The serial number is on the tag right under tha steering wheel. Let us know what it is.

As for value, I think these typically sell for $1000-$3000 depending on condition.

My TO20 has serial # 50 and runs perfect. The engine was rebuilt in spring 2004, but the outside is unrestored. It works and runs great. are there anymore early ones outthere?
