I'm with your buddy - if you don't have faith in them, are you sure that tractor wasn't out in the barn?
And 5 hours at a great price - sure. But machines like to work. I'm with you, I'd much rather buy a machine that age with 500 hours than with 5. Kinks happen, and 500 hours seems to be nothing for these machines. I've certainly had minor issues with mine (under 500 hrs for 2) that I'm pleased to have dealt with under warranty.
So my 2 cents - worth it if its a great deal, but 5 hours doesn't necessarily make it a great deal. I'd want a bit of a discount for that.
