As FWJ said, it depends on a lot of things.
But, that being said, 2500 hours is barely mid-life, if that, on an ag tractor, which, at 52 hp, your tractor pretty well qualifies as one.
I would not consider 2500 hours to be something to worry about, unless:
1. You're burning a lot of oil
2. You have a hard time getting it started in relatively cool weather.
But even with those kind of problems, $30 grand will pay for a bunch of repairs. I think you're better off keeping it and doing whatever maintenance that it needs.
