I never really gave it much thought until today but there are advantages to getting a used machine other than the discounted price. Last year I purchased a T1530 New Holland and the original owner(s) spent some extra dollars.
The FEL hooks were already welded on .... tires were already loaded .... the front R4s had been replaced with super aggressive loader tires ( same diameter ) ..... the engine heater was already installed and the machine already has the 3 pt. sliding stabilizers installed.
Advantages I hadn't even considered.
A question I do have is .......... are the sliding stabilizers an optional item that can be purchased because I'd sure like to have them on the smaller tractor. They are much better than the turnbuckle types.
