A friend of mine plans on selling me his 2500 for a good price. $3500 and it includes a 5ft mower, ditcher, FEL A regular bucket and a quick connect bucket(needs the decking replaced).
I am in bad need of a tractor. I found a JD 750 for $6k with a finishing mower, tiller, and box. The machine has not been started in years as he ran it out of diesel and did not know how to bleed the lines. There for the tires are dry-rotted.
I bring this up to kind of make me feel better about the price.. It bigger and in much better condition for a lot less. Plus has a FEL.
Is it normal for the 2500 to roll quite a bit of black smoke when under a load? It runs good and smooth. No blue or white smoke. Just diesel smoke.. Front end loader has two separate levers, and a bunch of hoses running here and there. I will take some pics when I get a chance to find out if its home made or if it is not.
I see a lot about grey tractors. The hour gauge reads 70hrs. So I can only assume it has been refurbished. The tractor itself is green, if that tells you anything.
Can anyone specify what levers do what? How many gears, how many ranges, live hydraulics and pto?
Very excited about purchasing my first tractor. My only wish is that it was 4wd but I can live with 2wd.
Thanks for any help
