How could I possibly tell you if its a good deal if I don't know the price? Not enough input, in other words.
For $20K it wold be a rip-off. For $100 I'd pounce on it regardless of condition. Somewhere in between those two extremes is probably a fair deal. It's all about condition - I've seen tractors that were nearly new but were trashed and I've seen antiques that were absolutely pristine.
If in good condition with everything working right, that is a good little tractor. Better if the backhoe is a Tomcat or Litw, better if the loader is a Koyker, etc. Lots of variables in the equation.

Its been a long day..... It was $7k, unfortunately he sold it in a matter of hours from his posting online -- must have been a good deal or he must have been in need of cash quick -- just wish I was the first to it..

Under 7K was a good deal. If the loader was a Koyker, Spirit, or Great Bend and the BH was not a Jinma it would be a great deal.
Too bad you missed it.

Yeah, $7K was a good deal, but definitely not a great deal. The tractor and loader were about that, or a bit more, new in '06. The hoe, which looks like a Jinma, sold for another $3500 or so, which is more than it's worth based on reports from owner. So the deal was okay but not terrific and you'll find another in the same range again, I'm sure. That one didn't look like it was always kept garaged, judging from the rust I saw in the photos.

Okay so previous buyer didn't have a way to transport it to his house 3 hours away so he backed out -- I went and saw it last night (rainy and dark) but left the guy a $100 check to hold it till the weekend when I can see it in the light. It looks to be in great shape, he had to jump it but once it started it ran with little smoke. I put the hydro motor through some strain by lifting the machine with the loader and didn't get any real additional smoke. I'll know this weekend if it's a done deal --- anything in particular I should be looking for??? Since this is my first Jap tractor I'm a bit nervous but the thing seems like a beast and appears to be in good shape with a ton of power...

And the loader and backhoe appear to be Jinma based on the manufacturer's tags on them...

First off its not a Jap tractor, your Kubota was, this is a Chinese tractor.
The things I would check is all the fluids for one. It has engine oil, front axle oil, gear box oil, and hydraulic oil. There is also a seperate reservoir for the injector pump.
I would change them all along with the filters.
Does the BH run off its own rear mounted pump or is it plumbed off the tractors system? If it has its own I would change it also.
Here is what I use.
Oils:
Engine Oil and Injector Pump: 15W40
Front Axle and Gear Box: 80W90 Non foaming
Hydraulics: AW32 Non foaming
Filters:
Air= Purulator A42019
Oil= Fram PH3950
Fuel= Fram P6503
The Jinma loader and BH leave a lot to be desired. The loader is a easy fix using a upgraded valve assembly from Ranch Hand Supply. Check them out on the Web. The BH you will just have to live with until someone comes up with a fix for them.

Yep, not as refined as Kubota, but it will do some pretty serious work(heavy tractor, lots of traction). The chinese joysticks leave a little bit to be desired and are a little sloppy. There are a few fairly easy mods that can be done to refine them a little bit. I have made some mods to my Backhoe joysticks and they work pretty good now. Probably the biggest failing of the chinese valves, particularly on the BH is the lack of load checks on each circuit. This can make operating it a little unusual untill you learn what combinations not to use...

Diamond Pilot is correct, the Chinese loaders valves leave alot to be desired but they are useable,better with the upgraded loader valve.The Backhoes always seem to be a problem,but at $ 7,000.00 for the package deal thats a good price.
