How much is a ford 800 tractor worth?

Answer 1

Please take the time to read my complete answer fully. You won't be disappointed, and I promise you will learn a lot!

The 800 & 801 SERIES of Ford tractors were built with many different options.

**Including models: 820, 850, 860, 811, 821, 841, 851, 861, 871, 881. **

- Please understand, each different Model within the Series carried different options! **This is a CRITICAL thing to understand!**

Engines included several different fuel types, including: gasoline, LP gas (propane), and diesel.

The rear PTO (Power Take Off) options could be any of the following:

No PTO at all, the "standard" PTO (aka: non-live PTO), a "Live" PTO, or a fully "Independent" PTO.

- The "No" PTO option was typically found on the industrial or standard versions, and often had a front-end loader or setup as a T/L/B (tractor/loader/backhoe) associated with them.

- The "Standard" (non-live) PTO was typically found with the 4-speed transmission. This PTO required depressing the clutch to disengage the PTO, which in turn stopped forward or rearward motion at the same time. It also would stop the operation of the hydraulic pump, therefore making the 3-point hitch unable to lift until the clutch pedal was again released. Very commonly found on every Ford 9N, 2N, 8N, NAA (Jubilee), 600 with 4-spd., and 800 with 4-spd.

- The "Live" PTO (utilizing a 2-stage clutch) option was typically found with the 5-speed transmissions, and was more commonly found on the later 600/800 and 601/801 Series of tractors.

- The fully "Independent" PTO option was linked with the Select-O-Speed 10-speed transmissions.

Tractor could have a rear 3-point hitch (with or without).

Tractor could have live rear hydraulic remotes (2 quick-connect hoses & couplers for operating a remote cylinder on, say, a transport disc or a transport style tow-behind rotary mower).

You would need to know which options your tractor has to accurately gauge its worth. Obviously, the more options it has, the MORE it's worth.

Live and Independent PTO's and any 3-point hitch is VERY desirable, and would boost the tractor's value considerably.

Additionally, Power Steering options on the later 800 & 801 series, as well as optional front end loaders will also jump a tractor's value significantly higher.

Also, the overall condition of the tractor is a major factor. Everything from the running and operating condition of the engine, clutch, and transmission, to the body (tinwork), brakes, and tires all play into the equation.

**** As a generic baseline, and my observations... Current 2011 values put a Ford 800 series tractor, reasonably equipped with 5-spd, 3-pt hitch, and live PTO, in good operating condition around $2,000 to $3,500. ****

I've seen really ratty ones (including non-running ones) sell for as little as $800 to $1,800. Keep in mind, these all needed some sort of repair work done to them. Again, I repeat... Overall CONDITION plays a HUGE role in farm tractor values!

Additionally... you can get a better understanding of all older farm tractor values by going to farm equipment auctions, talking to dealerships, looking on-line, and watching eBay and other "live" auctions.

For example, I currently own a Ford 860 gas. She has good paint, very good rubber, 3-pt hitch, live PTO, and 5-spd tranny, that is easily worth around $2,500 -$3,000. More if I ever get around to restoring it.

I also own a Ford 871 gas. She has good paint, very good rubber, 3-pt hitch, independent PTO, 10-spd Select-O-Speed tranny, rear hydraulic remotes, power steering, and a fully-functional hydraulic FORD front-end loader... Basically the works.

Worth about $3,500-$4,500. More if I ever get around to restoring it.

Hope this is of help to everyone out there! ~ AJ superturbodiesel2@Yahoo.com
