They go from 8k without a loader to 16 k with a loader. Hrs are a bit high and not much info on the shape of the tractor, storage , etc. I'll check it all, 3 pt, loader, clutch and pto clutch throughly before I buy a "pig in a poke' in an "as is" auction. I say 7 to 10k is the range I'm willing to pay for a 18 year old tractor. it is a great little tractor... it is 3 cylinder as well.

JC,

Two years ago I bought a cherry 1720 with 245 one owner hours for 7K with my Yanmar YM 1700 as a trade. I valued my Yanmar @ 2K so I got 9K in the tractor which included a Woods medium duty box blade.

Check out the tractor to make sure it is in good working order. The hours would not be a deal breaker for me if the unit had been properly maintained. If it is in good working order she should be worth 8K to 12K.
