| I just bought one this spring. My family already had a 5288 which was pulled hard as main tillage tractor for a number of years before being retired to lighter duty. Very reliable and fuel efficient for it's age. One problem was parking brake pawl (goes against the tranny to hold brake). Be sure to check park brake with tractor pointing down hill (it will generally hold up hill but not down if it's getting bad). That part is hard to find used and spendy from the dealer ($700?, can't remember). Worthington Ag parts now has aftermarket for $350 I think. Not a bad job to change. We had a few electrical issues, mainly the fuse panel is not heavy enough.
The 5088 I bought this spring had ~5500 hours, second owner, had the transmission update, duals, used as utility tractor by both previous owners, in decent condition, had a few minor things wrong, paid $14k. | |
