Hello - my husband and I have about 55 acres of hilly pasture in VA that we don't live on full time. Our ideal tractor is out of the budget right now, and the grass is getting tall, so I figured we might just look for a "lawn mower" in the interim. We looked at a 1920 from a private seller and liked it... comes with a (very old but functional) brush hog and has low hours. Seller doesn't know the year but I'm guessing it's late 80s. After negotiating, seller said he'd accept $6k. I don't think that's a bad price, but I'm not sure it's a good price either, especially since we'd have to transport it ourselves about 3 hours and over some mountain roads.
Does this seem like an okay deal? We'd ideally like a bucket and 4wd, and aren't in a huge rush to buy, and I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to spend a little more and get a similar tractor with those features. A nearby dealer has a 1996 with low hours, 4wd, and a bucket for 12k. Any thoughts are appreciated!
