Backhoe 2003 Farmpro 2425 tractor,FEL and backhoe.

[oz in SC]

I was wondering what this would be worth?
It has 180 hours on it,detachable backhoe,comes with auger,box blade, scrape blade and an older bushhog.

He wants $7000 for it.

any thoughts?

Sounds like a real good buy if it all checks out. That rig with all the attachments would be about $14,000.00 new.

Price is almost too good. If it's the kind I'm thinking of, those backhoes alone go for around three grand. My thought would be "what's wrong with it ".

The price may reflect lack of interest here....there isn't a lot of call for tractors of any sort.

I will contact the seller and see what he has to say,anything to ask about specifically?

Well, the first question I'd ask is why he's selling a 180 hour tractor in the first place. Most folks don't willingly give up 50 percent of a significant investment without strong motivation.

I had two JM254s a few years back, and the FarmTrac 2425 is just a rebadged JM254. Broke even on one, got more than I paid for the second.

If you buy it come by and see me in Beaufort and I will give you my stash of spare parts left from owning two of these!
