I'm going to look at a deere 4300hst w/deere 420 ldr and deere 47 bh, 316 hrs, just sericed, $19500. Warrentee is expired according to the owner, he thinks. The 43000hst TLB sells new for $26,000-$27,000. .The tractor is out of state (about a 4hr drive one way) so i'm hoping to compile a list of things to look for and at to get an idea if there are any problems or if the tractor has been abused. The owner bought the tractor new and used it to clear and prep about 10 acres for his home he was buiulding. The bh has what is called a RSA system (Quick mout frame mount) mouting plates. The owneer told me that he will buy another 4300 w/o bh after this sells. He says (and confirmed buy the deere dealer here) that it is very hard to sell just the bach hoe because the mounting plates are tractor specific. Have been looking at kubota L3010 but this price is too good and besides I like some of the features on the deere better, not all but some. The owner told me that the tractor was in good shape but has been worked hard but not abused. It has a dented fel bucket and some sratches on the tractor from clearing brush. To obtain financing through my C/U I am required to have the tractor appraised by a dealer and hope there is one close to the owners location. Can anyone help me with what questions to ask about the tractor and service and also what to look for and at to determin if there has been abuse and if there is any problems with the machine. Thanks for any suggestions.
