Buying Advice century 3035

[dereck81]

first off hello this is my first post. Going saturday to look at a century 3035 with 500 hours on it. The tractor comes with a loader,backhoe,logsplitter, posthole digger and brushhog. All that for 10 grand. Just wondering if their is anything to look for specifically that would make this a bad deal thanks

Did ya buy this machine?

yes pick it up saturday pretty nice machine the bucket needs some work and need to get new tie rods but everything else was great.

10K for that machine and all the implements is a pretty good buy. Backhoe alone is worth about 4-5k.

I guess it's kind of late now since you bought the tractor, but look over all the bushings on the backhoe. They could be quite worn and loose. Good luck with the tie rods they are dang expensive.

yah the backhoe might have 100 hours on it at least thats what the previous owner told me. the tie rods are expensive going to try and make a couple I work in a metal fab/machine shop its worth a try. thanks for the replys dereck.

I had to buy one a couple years ago. I think the cost was $120 each.
