A Ford 6610 isn't bad a tractor (depending on the year) but the tractor has its issues. We have the 8x4 but I think we would rather have the 8x2 version. The tractor has power from what we've thrown at the tractor. We haven't worked the tractor enough (baling might be the hardest thing). With one tire filled, the tractor will pull its own weight. The hydraulics are a bit odd. You have to have the button in, to raze the 3 pt and the the button out to use the remotes which will be a pain (there more to describe about the hydraulics). The pto will stop on a dime, so I would recommend a over run clutch if your not running a baler (when the tractor is in idle the pto will stop a woods mower dead in its tracks). The transmission will shift easily if its all aligned (ours since we messed around with it, its hard). Some of the sink-rows (sorry if I'm butchering the correct word) are on their way out so only the even gears work (you can hold the shiftier forward but you kill parts). We have a loader on the tractor which runs off the remotes. The tractor will lift a lot (at least to us) the heaviest thing we lifted was a Ford 3000 without tires and the tractor went up in the air a little. The tractor will plow snow with a 3 bladed plow on the back. I would recommend stabilizer bars for the tractor to make live easier. The tractor doesn't drink that much fuel. I can make a tank last 2 or more 8 hours a days depending what I'm doing. Don't let the tractor idle for that long because the tractor will spit up oil (I guess that isn't good???).
If someone is to go and look at one (if buying); if the tractor is cold, I would pop off the radiator cap and look in to see if the tractor is making bubbles if so, bad head gasket or porous block and check all the regular stuff when looking at any tractor. We payed less than that when we first bought the tractor. We killed one tire and that costed almost $1000 after everything.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery.
