That's kind of a really broad question.
#1 It's a Kubota, so that's great
#2 It's an M so if you want a bigger tractor there is that.
#3 There is 6 different versions of the M4900 each has it's +'s and -'s
#4 Being that is somewhere between 24 and 18 years old with only 128 hours is an anomaly!

It really helps when you quote a reply, if you follow it up with some typing.
Sorry about that...Using my phone and I guess I missed including the thread.

It is low hours. If legit, potentially a steal.
One thing to watch out for on low hours machines that are older is that some people only do the hours based service intervals. Arguably that tractor might have had only one service in its entire life (or even none). The services are supposed to be both time and hours. You may find some of the hoses, fluids, filters are perished, depending on exactly how it's been stored.

My thoughts on machines with crazy low hours, or that sit for long periods of time are mixed.
On one hand you have a low hour machine, however sitting for long periods of time can have unintended consequences.
As @PaulL points out, the servicing could be an issue, also things like seals and gaskets can "dry out" and leak. On cars, the brake rotors will rust out.....etc.
Did it sit outside, or was it housed in a barn?
