- Few John Deere's and one Ford 3600 diesel.
I've found a few tractors I'm interested in and wanted to get ya'lls take on it.

3000 Ford diesel
I'm most interested in the first tractor and have spoken with the dealer and know about the history of that one. Haven't inquired about the other 2 tractors yet and I'm still looking around at some other used one's. Prices seem a little high but I just saw a 3600 that wasn't as clean as the first one, but had less hours, go for $6500 and it had a leak in the engine somewhere from the looks of the pics. The dealer has all the manuals for the first tractor I mentioned and says it even has the original decals on the tractor (guy who owned it was apparently very picky about his equipment from what I was told).
I'm also not ruling out buying a new John Deere 5045D because my dealer has a couple rental returns on his lot he says he needs to move and sounds like he wants to deal. Just not sure I want to go over my $10,000 spending limit, even if it is a new tractor with warranty. I will say that I've been getting various shipping quotes and shipping has gotten high here in the past few months it seems. If I end up getting that 3600 from KY it's going to cost me close to $1,000(if not more) to get it here. Oh and the dealer said he'd take $6500 cash for it too.
