Hello,
I'm a tractor newbie. I don't know much at all about them, but I need something to bush hog with and fix my gravel driveway.
There's a Massey 230 for sale with 6' bush hog for $3750. The guy selling has only owned it for a few months and hasn't done much - he replaced the radiator, added a mount for a trailer hitch, and topped off the fluids. He bushhogged with it and nothing else.
The tractor starts fine, I ran it around for 30 minutes or so and it felt good. Bush hog cut nicely. Back tires are new and filled with liquid. Front tires are filled with foam. Shows 21xx hours, but it doesn't look like guage is working.
The bush hog is cracked around the edges. How bad is this?
One fender is bent and broken. Seat is rusty and worn. The headlights/taillights of the tractor don't work - they don't seem to be hooked up. All guages except for RPMs don't work. But the thing that worries me is an oil leak. I asked him if there were any leaks and he immediately pointed it out. He said it didn't leak much and pulled out the dipstick which still showed full.
I don't know enough to know what's a "normal" leak, or a "bad" leak.
What do you think?
Thanks
