Hi All,
I'm new to this forum and don't currently have any tractor. I grew up running mill & construction equipment but it's been quite a few years since then and I'm sure a lot has changed. I have a bunch of projects around the house and also own another 2 acre property with a bad driveway and large lawn to mow. Tomorrow a friend and I are heading out to look at a GC2310 w/493hrs. Equipped (standard I think) with a hoe, loader and belly mower, asking price is $12,500.
First question - how reasonable is the price? My gut says it needs to come down to 11ish?
Second question - what do I need to be looking for? I'm fairly mechanically inclined and am taking a good friend who is very good mechanically. However are there any common problems with these we should be checking for?
Third question - at just under 500hrs what maintenance intervals should have been completed?
Any other advice? Thanks in advance!
