New to TBN, New to Montana's - Price Help on used 4340

[bbtank45]

Looking at a 4340 (not positive on the year) with 1,700 hrs on it. Curious as to things to be concerned about with this kind of hours...looks like most parts are still readily available.

1,700 seems like a lot of hours, but with a 7 acre lot and general bushhogging and firewood. I cant imagine id wear it out.

Asking price is $9,500. Thoughts?

I appreciate any input on price or future life at 1,700hrs.

Thanks in advance.

Is this the tractor?

TractorData.com Montana 434 tractor information

If so 43hp - that is not a bad price. I'd go lower if I could. Have you driven it? Wobbles, hesitation, FEL work w/o squeals, PTO work, all gears, etc. If it is a solid tractor - looks good. I paid 9300 for a 2003 30 hp with 600 hrs 2011. - Look up this tractor on google - see how much it is going for. (tractorhouse)

Thanks tcreeley, that makes sense. Im planning to go take it for a drive this weekend and see how it operates. Couple pictures of it below.

I may be incorrect on the year Farmall....i think its newer than a 39. In fact, its a mutt of a tractor. Most all of it has been reworked to some degree....but it loves to work!
