M5040 pricing? Deal or not?

[bossgobbler]

I have the opportunity to buy an M5040 for $17k with la1153 loader and 450 hours. Is this a good deal or do I hold out for maybe getting it for less? From an individual. Thanks

What year is it? This is very low hours if actual. Nobody buys M series for hobby tractor, usually people that buy M series put a lot of hours on them.

Is it four wheel drive? Hydraulic shuttle or regular transmission?

It is a 2007. The hour meter reads 450. The guy bought it from Barlows and is selling it because he bought a larger tractor with a cab.

It is 4 wheel drive with shuttle shift

That seems like a great price to M

Seems like a great price compared to M5040s with similar hours and features listed on Tractorhouse. The only thing you may want to consider is getting one with the hydraulic shuttle, which allows changing direction on the move without having to use the clutch pedal. I have that on my M6040 and it is a really nice feature.

What he said.

I paid about 12K for my M4700 (about the same power) with about 1400 hrs.
