I’m looking at the titled tractor.
1800 hours, says it got serviced every 500 hours or once a year. Two rear remotes and 3rd function. Says it was used mostly for bush hogging and some plowing. Asking $38k.
What say you?

Loader or no loader!
Either way excellent price!

There are lots of options and two styles of cab, but for a tractor that sells new for at least $75k the question is what is the $40k difference worth to you? If 1,800 hours doesn't bother you, and the tractor will do what you need, and it's been well maintained it sounds like a no brainer.

I have not seen the tractor or spoken to the owner yet. I need to arrange a meeting. I’ll update when I have done so. The machine is not too far from me.

Finally made contact with the owner and plan to see it this weekend.
Anyone have experience with this machine and what I should be looking for?

I would ask owner how he used the tractor and inspect the FEL and front axle for signs of abuse.
