I see a lot of guys posting about buying tractors from several hundred miles! Me and the better half almost made this HUGE mistake!
The question is what makes a tractor new old stock or simply well used!
We made a trip 150 miles away to see a LS XR 3135 HC with hoe!
This machine had sat all through last winter was by a highway full of deIcer as things were rusting out badly!
The hoe was 2 model years old very rusty at all the cylinder caps, the machine appeared used! At least the hoe was!
I was told the hoe was a leftover which we were ok with! But not used!
Lesson to all! Always go pre inspect double check and make sure you know what you are getting!
Look for signs of wear and tear and age!
As do as I find how to post some photos I can!
We did however go back to a local dealer got a great price on a next larger machine!
Honestly it was out desire to save money that could have been a horrible mistake!
Learned our lesson never hurts to look but stay local
