Just arrived and hour meter is broken

Other then the hour meter are you happy with the tractor..

It's a pretty awesome tractor. It's a beast really. I spoke to a company that will make me custom wheels so I can get low and wide. Hopefully at least 60 inches of rubber on the ground in the rear and 30" or more in the front. I think it'll do what I need it to do and have power to spare.

I really hope the seller follows through on their attempts to smooth everything over; they don't have to, and a lot of places wouldn't, so it would speak well of them.

My fear would have been been just too great to bet $30k sight unseen on a used machine regardless of the hours it had.

I'm not risk adverse to a fault. But I also expect people to stand by their word and be honorable.

Have you tried to contact them today?

I spent 70k+ on two long distance machines this year. They actually turned out better than my one in purchase lol.

I bought a house, truck, guns, impliments, and all types of stuff like this.

I did. I wrote what they said a few posts up. I think it got buried.

Sounds like they'll do something. It needs hour meter/tach fixed & tire...maybe that will be settlement. Filters, oil if it wasn't serviced.

If you look towards the top; that was my suggested middle ground, maybe $500 credit towards service, the hour meter, and a $750 tire. It's not 100% perfect, but it saves our OP $2200 on transport fees, the dealer still has some profit on it, and the OP keeps what should be a good machine for decades. Don't know that it's a Win-Win, but probably fair.

Lots of good thoughts here (some not so good ) but a very interesting and informative topic!

I found out there's a lot of guys here I wouldn't buy a tractor from...
