These are rare and very reliable tractors, highly sought after by cattlemen for feeding. Can handle round bales as big as they come without fear of turning over unlike the newer light butt plastic tractors. These tractors weigh around 9000#, so ya need a real trailer(10,000-14,000#) to handle this.
Tractor is in good shape ,uses no oil, leaks no oil and has been used the 26 years I've had it to load dirt and build pads and roads, not abused. Just completed changing oils and all filters. Hour meter is broken @ 4560 hours. Have changed oil every year in fall with John Deere 200 hour 15w40.
We are selling it as we are upgrading to a bigger tractor with four wheel drive for commercial work. This tractor is bulletproof and really to work!------------ WE ARE NOT SELLING BECAUSE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS TRACTOR!
PRE-TARIFF priced @ $18750.00/OBO in person only. TIRE KICKERS, JUST GO ON DOWN THE ROAD---------------------------------XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
