I just bought a 2004 L3130DT

Without looking at it, or knowing how many hours were on it. Not the brightest thing, but it was advertised as "everything in working condition" and a very tempting price. When it was delivered, I turned the switch to learn it had 5050 hours. I didn't anticipate it to have more than 2,000 even though I should have known better. My question is, what is it worth based on the info above? I will attach pictures as well. (Tractor only, no loader or attachments).

Did you get to start it cold? smoke ? color? length before it stopped?

Any paper work on fluids/filter changes?

Hydraulic 3 point work ? Place load on it ?

You test 4wd? Diffy lock? Brakes for that matter?

with that many hours, sure it has a few - but does it smoke? if not , run her till one of you quit!

gonna guess : $4.5 K to $6 k ???? am I close?

You never really know. Maybe someone left the key on for an extended period of time!

That does happen, I have a Bobcat that the meter shows 3000+ hours, but by wear standards, it's more likely in the 800 Hour range.

Haha, I didn't start it until yesterday evening! It was on ebay and stated that everything mechanical worked. It does not smoke. It started right up and sounded great. At first I thought I would buy and resell, but it is so much nicer than my little mitsu I might sell the mitsu.

You were really close, I gave $4,600.
