1980"s tractor??????

low hour with a v tek loader

A tractor from the 80's with 132 hours??? I'm not buying that. That's like 4 hours per year. Maybe it's worth $5800 to someone, but no way I'd pay that for a low HP 2wd tractor with a loader.

Thats what those yanmars go for. Its just a vietnam recon. It had the hour meter rolled back. its easily worth $5000 if proven to be a good contition unit with no issues.

Motown...go look at what a Ford 8N still goes for and there from the 50s!!! and usually dont have a loader and are similar HP. Still less than this but you can easily pay $3000 on one. ANd you still dont have a loader.

This is a tractor I'd like to sell for $4500. Doesn't have a loader, but is a 2004, 4WD, 12 spd, 3 cyl Deisel with only. 226 hrs. Loaders can still be found for it

Is that a Jinma? Dealers who were selling both Jinma and 30 year old imported Yanmars back in 2004, reported that the elderly Yanmars needed far fewer set-up hours to to prepare for sale, and were far less likely to need warranty work after sale, compared to a brand new Jinma.

Now another ten years later, the Yanmars have held value pretty well while a 10 year old Jinma may be hard to support.

Jinma254/farm pro 2425. Same thing. It runs great, no problems and everything works

NOt saying the Jimina can not be a solid unit. But it has devalued pretty fast in 10 years right? Half your initial investment..maybe more? Most that bought yanmars (ignoreing different year dollars just calling a dollar a dollar) either have seen them appreciate over thier purchase price or be pretty much steady as what they paid.

Parts can be found but there more complicated and can be confuseing to trouble shoot i imagine when the electonics do give trouble and some parts i bet cant be found. With yanmars like ours most can be found on a parts unit or still availible as aftermarket.

different strokes i guess

It's still a good tractor but I know what you're saying and part of why it's for sale. Main reason though is I don't need it. Rather see someone get some use out of it. Too bad it doesn't have the fel or BH
I think it cost around $8-$9k new

so, you are saying the hrs may have been rolled back ??

 

[California]

you are saying the hrs may have been rolled back ??

... or ... 132 hours since the last time that 3-digit hourmeter rolled over.

I have a B7200. The meter shows 180 hours, but it really has at least 1179 hours.

 

[Garycw]

I was surprised to see my '04 Z71 truck has 6700 hrs. Wasn't aware they had factory hour meters. Still runs & drives like a new one though

 

[clemsonfor]

Lots of info you can pull out of moden computers on boats vehicles and even things like the new auto tune chainsaws!!! You can get max rpms, hours and lots of other cool info out of the latter (chainsaws) on the new auto tune units.

 

[woolyAcres]

If we're going by the hour meter, than mine only has 35 hours on it. :laughing:

 

[clemsonfor]

NICE another low hour specimine

 

[kenmac]

I'm assuming all the V loaders use all hyd hoses.. Unlike the Koyker loaders that use steel lines

When you say "V" loaders I am not sure if you mean Vtek or Vietnam. My old Bulldog loader had steel lines. (Vietnam)

 

[clemsonfor]

i would think when making them steel tubes would be cheaper than hydro hoses? just a thought though
