Does it run?
Could use a little paint!
Seems odd to see a newer Tractor without some sort of Operator protection?

I haven't started it yet. I want to check the battery and do a fluid/filter change and add fresh fuel before starting. It has ROPS that is currently not installed for transportation.

a little TLC and it will be back in operation, It nice the owner sold it to you instead of leaving it where it has sat for the last few years. Nice find.

Yeah, I asked why he wanted to sell it and he told me because he didn't use it much or have time or money for it. The guy is a family friend and employer of a few family members, which is how I came to know about it. Had I not been told, it'd probably have sat for forever

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
