Any idea what the hours or what year it is?

Tractor house has prices all over the place. Some upwards of 20k, one as low as 5500 but no picture. But in general, some pretty nice ones listing for 10-12k. Might be worth while for you to visit there and have a look. http://www.tractorhouse.com/list/li...anu=FORD&bcatid=464&Pref=0&Thumbs=1&scf=false

There is no guarantees when buying at an auction and trying to flip. So I dont want to offer too much advise and steer you the wrong way. Every location and market is different. And every machine is different, so without knowing your area well, and being there to give the machine a good look-over, do your homework is about the best advise I can offer on that.

If your at a auction with that many tractors there will be at least one {jockeye} that makes his living buying and selling tractors.

Live PTO isnt the biggest deal. But live hydraulics are. I would take live hydraulics over PS any day

I absolutely agree. I wouldn't even buy a tractor without live hyds.
