Like I said I've never had a high hour tractor. Most are low hours for there age. JD 4840 with 5200 Hrs. JD 8440 with 6,200 Hrs. Case 2294 with 2,400 hrs and a 1972 4020 with 3,800 hrs. that my dad bought new. Still got the original invoice for her!
A person starts making stupid decisions at 55:)
I'm not totally opposed to buying higher houred tractors. Just keep both eyes wide open, and most times its best to pass on it if you can't get the history. I know it's tempting to buy real cheap high houred stuff with grain prices in the basement. Just trying to throw out a little caution.
I have a real nice 2nd owner 71 4020. It's kinda semi retired now, but it still runs perfect. Has pretty close to 9 k hours on it. How did you manage to keep your hours so low on yours? Any pics? You can always include one of your 4840 while you're at it! I have a big soft spot for those old horses! |
