its cracked you can see it in the picture
Those headlights sure do look like they've been underwater. IDK about tractors, but whenever there's a big flood, the flooded cars are often wholesaled to dealers, and they can end up for sale anywhere. Or maybe the tractor just ended up in a creek. Or maybe he was working in a lot of dust and then tried to wash it down.... or.....
Ad me to the Maybe, if the price is right group.
The tractor has been used in a construction environment, as evidenced by the concrete residue in the bucket.
That is consistent with the dealer claim that it was traded in for a skid steer, which, in my opinion, is a much more robust and suitable tool for construction work.
The damage is largely cosmetic, and obviously is an issue with many of the suburbanites here, but, a cracked headlight and scratched paint is rather trivial to the life and functionality of a work machine.
I don稚 know the accepted retail value of used tractors of this brand, but if this particular unit is priced at the lower end, I don稚 see any reason to run away.
If shiny paint is an issue and you are risk averse, perhaps a brand new machine is a better option, but there is a price to pay for that, too.
