Any feedback on a Ford 8240A?

Basic manual synchro transmission that is really good. This tractor is the opposite end of the spectrum vs the SLE you were looking at as far as electronics and reliability.

They will ship it to me for free (from Colorado to NY)...just seems to good to be true. They said they would need 50% down and can finance the rest through them for upto 5yr's at 3%...

Thanks auction info. The new hollands are 155hp and are too big. The JD 5410 looks a bit rough and looks to had some extensive welding done to one of the loader arms.

Anyone hear of this company? 28k seems awfully low for this tractor.

Just did a bit of digging on New Ag talk, found an interesting thing.
From the ad you had;

Then from another search;

Same name and address but different contact phone number;
google street view doesn't show any equipment on their lot. Might want to try the other phone number.

Awesome, thanks for digging into it! I think I might try giving that other phone number a call. If it seems legit, it might be worth considering.

What a person could do would be after verifying that it seems legit on a land line phone would be to do a video call on a cell phone of them walking around the tractor while talking to you, have them put their hand on the exhaust manifold then do a cold start live and listen to it then have them drive it and operate the loader with you on a live video call.
Good Luck

Yeah, I was thinking a phone call with live video of the tractor or at the very least a video with todays date written in somewhere with the cold start.

Of course you can always do a 22 hour drive to take a look at her!
A person could call a couple of other local businesses or the Town Clerks office.

I know someone that lives in Denver...haven't spoke with them in about 20 some years but heck, maybe they'd go check it out for me lol. Although, I could use a mini vacation and a roadtrip would be nice.
