I'm thinking real hard about purchasing a brand new 2006 3215 HST TLB. It's been on the dealer's lot since 8/2006 and has less than 5 hours on the machine. Aside from worrying about the condition of the fuel line, what else should I be worried about? I'm also concerned about the engine seals not be properly set (run vigorously for the first 5 hours) as the machine has been sitting around for 15+ months.

What would you do?

What kind of discount is he offering?

Make sure you check the battery/cable for corrision, I've had to clean mind twice in less than a year. Other than that I've had no other problems, its a good little tractor.

If the price is right, you'll be getting a brand new tractor at a huge savings. Setting outside would be the worst thing I can see (unless you don't have a shed to keep it in anyway). It probably has 5 hours just from being moved around the lot.

It depends entirely... 100%... on the amount of the discount you would be getting vs. a brand new 2007 one right off the truck! :)
