Anyone looking for snow plowing rig in mid Michigan?

Went to MSU recycling today and there was a lonely looking orange tractor behind the fence. Looking at the website it is an L5030, 2006, 2475 hours, front mount hydraulic blade, cab. Minimum bid 18K, bidding closes Oct 2. Might be worth a look.

It includes a wsm, so maybe it was well maintained...that's about 200 hrs a year they put on it. You need a cabbed tractor skeets!

This tractor did not sell yet, and they have put it back in use. If interested contact the surplus store by phone or email.

Stopped by and tractor was sitting in parking lot so I had a closer look. Industrial tires, a little worn, and some rust. Had been powerwashed within an inch of its life, so needs to be regreased. Oil filter had july 2018 date. Has a set of rear wheel weights on. Has 3 pairs of rear remote valves, look factory to me. Has improvised front fenders to keep mud or salt off the cab.

This model has treadle pedal and the brakes are on the right. There is another pedal on the left. Anyone with a 5030 know if this is clutch for pto?
