Cleaning up deadwood and trying to reclaim my bottomland, get rid of Privette. Grapple is on when running the bush hog, and comes in handy for overhanging limbs and deadwood.

Looking at a used 2005 M5700 for sale locally. Only 13 hours and it is equipped with a la1002 loader and M4711 backhoe. It has the shuttle or reverser on the steering column. What is a ballpark value on this 10 year old tractor?:confused3:
