Hello, I’m new to the country and to tractors. Looking for something to help with projects on my four acres. Will use for grading a lawn, moving trees, building a pole barn and many other projects around our new build. While expensive, I feel like tractors hold their value pretty well and could quickly pay for itself in a few years’ time just by speeding up any work I’m doing.
Everything decent I find flies off the market. A friend of a friend owns the tractor in subject line which from what I can tell is very good condition for its age and most of the 100hrs on it were from moving snow. Tractor always stored inside very little rust, fluids all look good, no leaks and all connections look good. Asking price is $14K which I feel might be a little high for a 17yo gear tractor with shuttle even considering the very low hours and great condition of the machine?
I’m very interested and want to make a fair offer but also don’t want to get ripped off. What is the value of this tractor and is there anything that I should be concerned about like the age?
Any help greatly appreciated.
