I am going to look at a local NH 7610S 4wd that has been modified in the following manner. It has:
1) heavy steel bumper that extends beyond the width of both front tires
2) heavy steel skid plate (total underbelly of tractor)
3) Total steel canopy and expanded metal sides
4) Kevlar 18 ply rear tires and 12 ply standard front tires.
Supposedly that aftermarket stuff is very professionally done and all "bolted" on . It is also painted to match. Given that Im looking for a tractor to help maintain wildlife habitat, including roads in timber and right of ways, this would be pretty good for my intended use.
The tractor has less than 1000 hours and was used by the owner of a company that mowed right of ways. He used this particular tractor exclusively and told me it "looks new". My question is,
How much would these "add ons" add or subtract from the price of the tractor, and in your opinion, what should a rig like this cost?
