If the engine and the transmission and the differential are in half as good shape as the paint job and the tires, that's a steal for a thousand bucks.

And even if it's got mechanical problems, I say buy it anyway. You've got an image to maintain, after all, and a tractor like that will be an asset.

Ross,

That does not look like a "green technology" vehicle to me.
I think you should take a pass on it and look for a solar, wind or human powered vehicle to serve your purposes.

Better yet just leave Mother Earth on her own and let your acreage revert to its natural state.

Radical Environmental Extremism is no vice..


Heh!

Buy it, it is worth more than that if it is all there and nothing is frozen. These little tractors are bullet proof, parts are/were easy to come by, and they are simple enough that almost anyone can work on them. I am an old country boy, first tractor I had any dealings with was a Fordson back in the 1930's, have owned a jillion of all makes since then and all manners of farm equipment. If nothing else, you will have fun driving it around your place with the trailer. First thing I would do would be to buy the implements that go with it, plow, planter, cultivator, disc and etc. and go to gardening big time.

Grady makes some great points, and I also recommend that you buy it. A tractor can do many things easily that the Rhino will struggle to get done, thus saving wear-and-tear on the Rhino, and as Grady pointed out, a good tractor is practically bullet-proof.
