Thinking about a tractor now, for summer projects around the homestead...I know I will find alot more uses for it once it's in the barn than I can think of now...but here are my questions. I've never bought a tractor before.
The Bx 25 series fits my needs, and I'm thinking used rather than new, for the amount we will use it, and older machine is fine. The clock won't be ticking away all that fast. What should I be cautious of in terms of hours...what's high on one of these things? There's a decent one locally, a little cosmetically challenged but evidently well maintained, with 820 hours.
Should I steer away from that? How relevant is hours if maintenance has been performed properly and on schedule?
Thanks in advance. Looking forward to getting a tractor ! The wife wants it more than I, but hey any machine with an engine has my vote.
