I've had the opportunity to run 2 of these tractors at a trade school. A 1998 and a 1999. Compared to excavators, front end loaders, and bulldozers, the backhoes are everyones least favorite machine. But I absolutely love these tractors. Easy to control very comfortable. I was just on the 99 today and had no problem getting the job done. I hope to own one someday

Seems like a real good machine, Ford makes some damn good equipment, worst thing they ever did was quit making farm equipment and industrial equipment

Wait until you have to replace the hydraulic hoses on that machine. It is pure hell.
