Best part is he kept it indoors all winter!! :-) I paid 9 grand less for that 1552 from him, than a dealer closer to me wanted for the exact same tractor!!!
It is 3 1/2 hrs from where I live and 230 miles. A pretty good haul, but I figured it was worth the difference in price to go that far to get it.
A bailer really doesn't take that HP to run. Well mine doesn't any way. I ran my JD 336 bailer with my old 2010 and that had about 20 HP left from the original 46!!....lol....Ya, she's pretty tired!!! |
Congratulations 1stmassey! I saw that tractor listed on ebay a few weeks ago and talked to the them about it. It was a great deal!!! I wanted to buy it, but it would have been a heck of a haul back and I was afraid my local dealer wouldn't be too supportive if I needed help with anything in the future.
