New member in central Texas. 5 acre rough terrain. looking for Tractor. $5k

[sd455dan]

Looking for a reliable Tractor with about 50hp diesel. Front bucket , pto, rear lift. External hydraulic connections. $5k

the cheapest tractor that i know of, in that price range
would be a twin to my Rhino 554 - http://www.tractorhouse.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=7592047



but still would need the loader although it does have remotes, 4 x 4 power steering 5400 lbs. and 55 hp.



i paid $3850 for my ford 3000 with a Ford 730 loader, the front axle could be stronger but other than that it has been a great tractor -make sure the tires are loaded and put at least a 1000 lbs. implement on the three point and it will do a lot of loader work- i agree the older Masseys and even IH and Case tractors are also good bets.

Good Luck- there are deals out there

This is in your area and it is not 50 HP. But IF it is not a scam, and in decent mechanical condition, I would snatch this up in a heartbeat

Edit
786 is a Miami number, so be aware of that if you contact them. But it is worth a follow up

That one sure looks like a scam to me. Pretty much all of the "Wowser . . . that looks to be a smokin' good deal even if it cost twice that much!" are scams. Not to say that there aren't some really good deals out there, but you generally have to be right on-it, checking the listings every day, as the honest good deals get snapped right up, often within a few hours.

I guess the op has gone out of town...

Wondering why you would want the "handle" of drtimleary. He wasn't the best example of a person.

It has all the markings of SCAM to me.
The surrounding terrain is NOT anywhere around San Marcos, plants are all wrong.
No phone contact number.
WAY too cheap and WAY too new with WAY too many extras...4wd, loader, low hours.
Whoever on TBN follows up first and verifies scam, be sure to report/flag to Craig's LIST.

Looks like a scam to me also, it is listed here too: 2002 New Holland TC33D with New Koyker 160 Loader

Here is one to look at

Clearly a scam...I flagged both locations....when you find the same item posted in several states, it is a certain sign of scam.
