Iowa | 4250 is a updated 4430 w the 466 and turbo. A WONDERFUL tractor. Starts well when its cold out, not too hard on fuel, pretty bulletproof. I have had two of them--they will pull a 12 row planter with ease. Both had over 10,000 hrs and neither had been touched, engine/transmission-wise when I traded them. Keep the water pump changed often--maybe 3-4000 hrs, as when they shuck out coolant can go into the oil.
Both of mine were a bit louder in the cab than the 4640's I had at the same time--we never could figure out why--but they are considerable quieter than a 4430.
I have never had to do axle bearings, mine have always checked out within specs (I always sent mine in for winter inspection every other year) but I guess that can be pricy. I had new injectors put in both around 7500 hrs, if I remember right.
I would think $17,000 is about $10,000 too low IF IT IS A NICE ONE.
I still have a 4230--I wish I kept one of my 4250's instead. | |
