If the tractor does have a loader then I think it a very good deal.
If it does not it still appears to be a decent buy.
The forklift attachment could go on the hitch so that does not guarantee a loader. Ask the seller how high you can stack stuff with the forklift. If it's 20" no loader. If 6' .... there must be one.

i came this " " close to geting a 3pt forklift for my tractor earlier this year. was a good mast with the 3pt pins already welded on and setup for a toplink, had a SA cyl and all.. rod was bent at the end. I drove about 2.5 hrs one way to get it.. seller did not disclose the rod was bent and hogging the seal out

Sorry I can't be of help to the OP, other than to suggest (as he has already said he would) to price the attachments, and then do the math.
Not to hijack, but Soundguy, how did you determine the rod was bent?
Was it visible to the naked eye, or did you have to lay a straight edge on it? Just curious how you dodged that bullet.
Best of luck to the OP, but also, to be aware: if there is a forklift "attachment" (such as Soundguy is describing, with it's own mast--didn't know such things existed, presumably for the TPH?) then there very well may NOT be an FEL.

it was bent near the yoke end. not alot.. but enough I could see it, and then when laying a square on it, it was visible. it was already hogging out the dust seal portion of the packing. no seal involvement yet.. but ti would have eventually gottend the rest of the seal and packing with that bend.
seller said.. awe, just take the yoke off and put a big pipe on it and bend it.
I passed..

If everything has been kept indoors and the tractor looks to be well kept and runs properly. If you are going to need all that equipment, Then you should go for it. The alternative is to start over looking for all those machines...you might save a little but what is your time worth?
Sounds to me like it's definetly in the ball park.
Does that tractor have a loader? How long since it let the factory, it can't be more than 12 years old. That machine is no longer in production and was introduced in 1999.

Have a 03 L3000DT, Tough little tractor, well built. It is a very basic tractor, no frills, 4 spd with hi low, no sychronizers, no electronics, not even a light to tell you if your in 4WD or not. That being said I enjoy, and trust it.
With the equipment listed, the low hours and it having been taken well care of I would consider it a steal.
I would think you would want a loader at some point though.
