I need a tractor to scrape a 1/4 mi. drive way, mow, and box blade underbrush. I have been looking for a while now and have come across a late 90's Cub Cadet 7205 with 289 hrs on it. It looks pretty good and they want $4,000 for it. The guy selling the machine said it stripped out the PTO while running a tiller and he had that repaired "better than factory"(?). I read earlier that this is an overrunning pto and it slips and wears out the shafts and causes them to slip.
My questions are, are these good tractors?
Is that pto thing a one time deal or reaccuring? at $800-$1000 a pop wouldnt think it would be worth it to do this every couple hundred hrs.
Is $4,000 a good price?
and how hard parts to find for these tractors?
My other option is an 80' Yanmar 1610D
