I'm biased in favor of Fords, so of course that's what I'd say to buy... You'll probably have a hard time staying under 5000 hours. $10k should get you a nice 7000 or 76/7700. Maybe even a 76/7710, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that. They are rated 83 (7000), 84 (76/7700) and 86 h.p. (76/7710). It would also get you a 8/9000 or 86/9600 with money left, but I generally don't look real hard at them - too much age for that size, and various problems that are too common. You might be able to find a 87/9700 (110 and 135 h.p)in that price range, but it will be hard to find one without a cab. They have a better transmission than the 8/9000 and 86/9600's.
