M7040 good deal?

Hello to all - and thanks up front for the input!

I have been a reader of this forum for some time as I have been patiently waiting to find the right tractor.

Looking for a 50-60 M series with 12 speed, hydraulic shuttle and FEL.

Mostly simple loader work, brush hog, occasion field work.

I found a 2012 M7040 with the following

1011 hours
LA 1153 loader
R4 tires filled with beet juice
Single rear Hyd outlet
ROPS
Quick attach bucket
Bucket and forks
Kept inside it entire life


He is the original owner and ordered it new. His situation has changed and is down sizing.

I can get the unit for $22,000.00 and possibly slightly less.

Seems like a pretty good deal - local dealer has a new 2015 version of that with the 12 speed priced at $35,500.00.

I would prefer the 12 speed and it is slightly larger than what I was looking for - but from reading on here no one ever says - I bought a tractor that was to big…

Thanks again!

Yep looks like a good price.
And getting an older unit means less or no emissions junk to deal with!

M7040 good deal?

Got some photos of the tractor today looks pretty clean - paint rubbed off the operators area and needs a seat.

Would need to add a block heater and a second and possibly third rear hydraulic outlet. - Best place to buy parts? - Are there any dealers that help support this page?

From the photos I see its the SU - Special Utility model - I think I am correct is saying this is a stripped down version of the M series - same tractor just a basic version?

Model number is a M7040SUHD -IDNO 3022748555

Thanks

Agreed on 20k - going to look at it on Thursday prior to purchase. Seems like a good price . Any input would be appreciated- good , bad or indifferent.
