Thanks & re-posting from yesterday. Had one reply that this is a good buy.
I checked the tractorhouse and prices are all-over for higher used machines.

Thanks,

That's low hours on it, of course. But do you know how old it is? I bought one of the first ones in 1999 and it was a fine machine, but the early ones had one hydraulic filter and later ones had 2; probably not a big deal. And mine had the LA401 FEL while later ones had the LA402. I looked them over several years ago and the differences in the loader were definitely too minor to care. Does the seller have the manuals for the tractor and attachments? I also bought the Workshop Manual ($88) and the Illustrated Parts Manual ($48) shortly after I bought my B2710. Even those manual prices have probably gone up since 1999, but they sure can be helpful at times. I did not have a MMM; didn't want one. Instead, I gave $1,695 for a Bush Hog RDTH60 rear finish mower. And I think the dealer told me MSRP on the B2710 back then was $15,500 for the tractor alone, but I gave $12,600 for the tractor, $2,900 for the FEL; i.e., $15,500 for them together, and I also had the dealer install the Ag Wells Co. canopy for $295.

Thanks, Bird.

That is a low houred tractor and a quick flush of the fluids should be done. It is a good tractor and priced right for the vintage and hours.

I've got just under 300 hours on my '05 (bought in late '06) and it has not let me down. I think I paid a little less than 15k with L402 loader. I use mine to plow snow, grade the drive, split wood and for light bucket work. More than enough tractor for what I need.
