Does it "look" new, run like new? If it's got 50 hours on it, has the dealer done the first service on it? Oil, filter, hydraulic filter, etc. Is the dealer giving you a new tractor warranty? I understand some wanting as new as possible, so maybe I'm different, but if they've put some hours on it, they should have found any problems, if such even exist, so if the answers to the questions is "yes", then I wouldn't worry about it.
There you go!
There's the other side of the coin.
I've got this idea that maybe I'm just expecting far more than
what is reasonable.
I'm gonna work the tar out of it on a horse farm in Florida's worst heat and rain.
So what's a few hours on the meter as long as the warranty is solid.
The guys in the shop are great.
It's a small town dealership that doesn't move a lot of units.
So the factory doesn't cut them a whole lot of discounts anyway.
Guess it all boils down to:
"Just how big of a mules backside am I willing to make myself over a
few bucks?"
I still hafta walk into the place to buy filters, belts and hydro fluid.
Gotta love small town life and I try, as much as possible, to
spend my money in that same small town.
Know what I mean, Bird?
