Cub Cadet 6284

[JJK]

I am in the market for a used tractor. Am currently looking at a Cub Cadet 6284, 2 years old with 500 hrs on it. 28 hp, 4x4. Anyone with info, either bad or good on these tractors is appreciated. Asking price is $7500.00

The first year the 6284 was availlable was in 2005, therefore at most the machine is only a year old. For that machine, which is only barely over a year old, to have 500 hours on it would be VERY suprising. Almost no one using a tractor that small will ever put 500 hours on it in one years time. Do you know what the guy uses it for, or did use it for?

Now the price seems about right, actually darn good considering the machine is only a year old and that a brand new one list for a little under 13K.

The tractor has a powerful 28hp CAT (Perkins) diesel motor, PosiTrac on demand 4wd, and is the best CUT built by Cub Cadet to date. Ask the owner if it has served him/her well. So check why so many hours, what it was used to do, and then jump on the tractor for that price if all the other answers don't cause red flags to fly up. Good luck.

I just got a 6284 in Nov. and so far it been working well.
I previously had a 7264 and this machine seems like a much better tractor.
The only problems I've had to date was a fuel leak on the "lift pump" that was handled promptly.
The 6284 seems much quieter (drivetrain) than my other tractor. Also, I like the engine; although the Daihatsu was good as well.
I'd have to agree with Gamble, that's a bunch of hours in a short period of time. Having said that, I've seen "skid steers" at my Dlr. that are 6 months old with 7-800 hrs. on them. So that usage is possible...
Check it out a little more but that sounds like a good price.

Good luck.

The 6284 was available in 2004 but was called the 7284...same tractor, different model number. Cub changed the model number to 6284 in 2005.
