Buying Advice B6200 HST 4x4

[South42]

Looking at this tractor for garden plowing/tilling and hauling/moving firewood. Rebuilt engine (bored the block and cam bearings and main bearing installed. All the pistons, rings, new oil pump, gaskets, bearings, came from Kubota.)
No mower deck and no implements.

Asking price $3500.

Hows this feel to you folks?

Also, it currently has turf tires, to swap these out with ag tires will I need to swap out the wheels as well? If so, what kind of $$ to make the swap?

Thanks

The B6200 should work perfectly for the uses you describe. A word of caution though about engine rebuilds. I have rebuilt many engines and it's not uncommon to rebuild a "just rebuilt" engine. The quality of the work is just as important as the new parts being used. That said, I'd wonder why it needed a rebuild in the first place. Was it an uncommon problem or abuse? How's the rest of the machine? A quick look on Tractorhouse showed a few B6200s with low hours in the same price range. Personally, unless I knew and trusted the reputation of the rebuilder, I would rather buy a nice unmolested machine.
Tires can be pricey. The turfs should work for you unless you want to haul wood in the snow.
Good luck and I hope it all works out for you.
