I have been trying to buy a Two-Ten from a neighboring farmer for a while. It has been sitting for a number of years because the owner passed away. The farm was rented to some other neighbors for a year and they managed to buy the land and the vacant farmstead and the equipment from the family. I took some pictures of the tractor in 2007 and didn't get results from my inquiry, and when I looked again this past summer, someone had tried to cut the radiator out of the tractor. A Uni harvester, some older trucks and an old Case combine all had the radiators stolen. Fortunately, they only did minimal damage to this tractor. The new owners didn't have much use for this tractor so they offered it to me. I finally figured out that if I paid what they were asking I could get it bought! It only has 2100 hours on the working tach, and I think it is correct. I am so happy with it I just had to tell everyone about it! The 210 has been sitting in a bunch of trees less than a mile from my house and I had to keep quiet about it for fear someone would swoop in and get it before I did. What a relief!

Thats awsome that you kept your eye on it that long and got it. You just need a set of fenders now.

That's a great score, Redline, lucky the tractor wasn't damaged by the stealing scum. I thought you might be far enough from town to not have that problem.

Good find Redline !!!! Thats a nice grill on there too. With only about 1400 units build, I think this will continue to go up in value. I picked one up also about 2 years ago and it looks good next to the 220s. Thanks for sharing, Darryl ------------- B 10 Custom.

For some reason I prefer the looks of a 210 over a 220. I guess they look fast stepping and still beefy. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |
