I would like to extend a thank you in advance to anyone that helps me through this process of buying my first tractor.
I am a home owner in Lincoln, Maine with 57 acres and a 1/4 mile of hilly dirt road that requires me to purchase tractor to maintain, plow and improve the road. I also plan on using the tractor for firework work and to maintain the grounds.
I am looking into purchasing a 2012 Kubota L3940 with a LA724 loader. This machine is used (if you can call 30 hours used) and still has warranty on it until June 2014. It is a private sale and I am going to look at it tomorrow.
I am in-experienced in tractors and my attempts to have someone with experience come with me have not worked out so it looks like I will be going by myself. The tractor looks to be in great condition but I am wondering if there are things that I should be looking for that would be a red flag. I believe that I am getting a great deal on this tractor as I have quote for a new L3940 from a dealer and this tractor is substantially lower and if this used tractor is in as good condition as it appears to be I should be alright. I have attached pictures of the tractor.
I appreciate any advice or suggestions to insure that I am making the correct decision on this tractor and I again thank you for your help.
