He'll have a tough time selling out without a FEL. I bought my tc29d (same tractor with less HP) for $5500 this past December. Mine's HST, no SS, no loader, just like what you're looking at. Mine is in rough cosmetic shape and had 850 hours on it. It sat on Craigslist for over 2 months before i bought it. There was also another one on Craigslist a few hours from me. He wanted 10k for his with the same setup, though that one came with turfs and ag tires on rims, which is nice. 350 hours maybe. It too say on Craigslist for at least three months.
Mine has been a real good machine. I'm up to about 920 hours on it now. At 10k for the tractor, and 4k for a loader, though, I'd look at new machines. A Kioti CK 2610 won't cost much more than 16k with a loader. And a warranty. Same size tractor, but you do sacrifice some HP. Anyway, if you do get the TC, though, send me a PM. I have a good place to get a service manual for it.
Good luck and let us know what you choose.
I'm afraid I may have to wait him out. He's only had it listed a couple of weeks. I'm going to make an offer tomorrow but I don't think he's going to like it...
