Ohiobucks Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Anyone have one or know someone who does? I have an opportunity to pick one up cheap. It is a 1988 with 1,300 hours, 4WD, 20 or 21 HP (he has to check), includes a JD60 bucket and an older brush hog that works well. Looks to be a chance I can't really pass up. Wasn't really looking for one, but this is too good..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfletch7441 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 This: http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/1/1/113-john-deere-650.html says its 16 hp. And this: http://www.tractorhouse.com/list/list.aspx?manu=JOHN+DEERE&mdltxt=650 might help you get a fix on prices. Otherwise, good luck with it.

Tominator Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Don't know Tom, but a tractor that only averaged ~60 hrs/year probably has a lot of time left on it. I'd definitely check it out. Check all the hydraulic seals you can find, and I'd try to find something pretty heavy to lift while you're doing your test drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Gotta agree with Chris advice on lifting something hefty with it and checking everything you possibly can, also be sure to see how well the steering works if it has power steering. We used I believe an 855 for a few months, was a pretty decent machine, only thing about it I did not like was it bogged down a bit with the belly mower in tall thick grass.

Ohiobucks Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Here she is, just got done mowing about an acre of waist high grass/weeds with no problems. Can't believe the deal I got on this thing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 That's pretty cool Tommy. Congrats again. Sure wish I had a bucket like that. Sure would make my dirt moving over here a heck of a lot easier. BTW--nice work on the driveway there. Looks like you made some improvements.

toddyboman Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 looks good.....wish I had one just like it at my place :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Nice looking little tractor there Tom, congratulations. Getting a loader for my bigger tractor was one of the best investments I ever made, they are very handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Looks like a nice unit. Keep the radiator and screen in front of the rad. clean. These engines are a little prone to head gasket and cylinder head cracking if overheated. Keep the rad. clean and you won't have a problem. If the loader is quick attach, I would run without it while mowing. This will greatly reduce picking up chaff etc. while mowing. If the loader isn't QD you could remove just the bucket.

JohnDr Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) The John Deere 650 could be a really good choice for me, too. But I lost this chance and didn't get it.The tractor I was looking did not have power steering and it was a bit old. But the fact that it is a small tractor is very useful in fine jobs.
