That is a good model of tractor but it is a row crop with a narrow front end but could be equiped with either a single front wheel or adjustable wide front. It should handle most but probably not all implements you have for your 30. Would have the same cat 1 hitch but anything that mounts under axle or frame mounted would not work. May have a problem with your current plow as the wheel track being a higher tractor should be a couple of inches wider. And if gas Ford called it a 48 HP tractor, Desiel is stay away from according to this site and only about 40 HP. The 961 is 5 speed tranny with live power take off. The type you push clutch half way down stops tractor movement but PTO keeps on running, clutch all way down all stops. I think I would like that better than the independant type that is on newer tractors and what I had that if you had to stop movement and PTO at same time you had to grab a lever as well as hit the clutch. Tractor data at 62 is not for that tractor and no 4 cylinder untill the 5000 had that much power. The 961 is newer than the 960 and has about 4 more HP. but otherwise same. Was later called a 4000 and still the same 4 cylinder engine in grey and blue tractor. Last built as a 64 model, The 4000 in 65 became a blue 3 cylinder tractor. Would love to have a 961 myself. Others on here will say it is $1,800 too high but different areas values differ. I think in my area that would be decent if all including tires were good.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
