Price Check Ford 4100 good price or not?

Chris2 · Mar 30, 2004

This will be my first tractor and I am looking at a Ford 4100 with a Koyker 200 loader with 6 foot bucket and a 6 foot bush hog, the tractor shows 4700 hours on it and the meter is broken, the bush hog needs some welding, the power steering does not work, the linkage for the differential lock is broken, and the joystick handle for the loader control valve is wooer out. Other than that it seems to be in good running order. The seller is asking $7000 for it. Is that a faire price, I’m thinking $5500-$6000. Assuming the tractor had proper maintenance how many hours can I expect out of the 3-cyl diesel engine? 4700+ seems like a lot

Thank you for any help.

( I’m thinking $5500-$6000. )

From your description, I think your estimate is even high. I wouldn't pay anymore than $4000 for a tractor with that much needed repair, especially one that old. You can easily spend $3000 to $4000 on these old tractors and still have an old tractor that you repair everytime you use it. My advice would be for you to keep looking. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

He is way overpriced for what you described. I would keep looking or if you have your heart set on this one offer him $3k as you don't know what else will be wrong with it when you start working with it and on it. And if you get it cheap enough you can use it as a trade in on a new TN or TC /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
