Used tractors can be a very good value.
At the same time it's easy to get "taken for a ride".
Always do a search for the model to make sure you are getting what the person selling is saying it is. I use "Google" images search alot.
There are some very good dealers on here selling both new and used, greys and domestics.
The reason I am writing this is I have seen and talked to quite a few people that bought tractors thinking they were one thing and then finding out they were something totally different.
One bought a "Ford" tractor, it ended up being a Shenniu (chinese) with Ford stickers on it.
Another bought a "Massey Ferguson" Compact, it ended up being a grey market tractor.
Another was a person that just bought an 850 JD, very clean but was represented by the seller as a "somewhere around 2000" model tractor.
There are others but those are fresh in my mind.
I also see them on ebay and craigslist all the time, being misrepresented.
Of course all are "really good deals".
Just be careful and make sure you get what you bargained for.
Ask questions and if they seem dishonest just walk away.
