Looks like new tires. Did they put new rubber on it?

What's the plan for this new tractor? Will this be dedicated to a specific baler or mower or ???

2 new tires. One on front, one on rear.

My bank account is not very happy with me.

Here’s the new tires. Both on the right side

It’s getting the Krone baler hooked to it.
It’ll also pull a 30 foot Artex spreader like this one.

If you need it, and you want it, and you have it -- go for it. They're not getting any cheaper.

It's only money! ;)

Along with everything else we buy, used farm tractors cost 50% more than they did 3-4 years ago.

”No joke”

"No Joke!!" "Not hyperbole!"

Yep. The magic of compounding interest . . . inflation . . . works both ways . . .

That's why I think it makes sense to buy now if you find something that seems reasonably priced -- all things considered. This inflation problem isn't over. It's going to get worse.
