Watched a good one go for auction yesterday for 5750. Great price in my book. You say no TA, is that TA out or wasn't made with a TA? If TA is out, price goes down a little bit. If TA wasn't installed, simply consider it like buying a vehicle without a usual option. Watched another with weak TA go for 3050, so it was a tough crowd. I wish I had the money. Never beat the 358 in fuel efficiency, ESPECIALLY with the turbo, but don't push it too hard. Lower the turbo, higher the engine life. 100 horses would probably be good. It will cost about 6 grand if if needs an overhaul because of the german diesel, but otherwise the tractor doesn't complain much. It's most definately your call, but consider the rubber too. LAW is right about starting, here in Wisconsin we retire our 826 for the winter. It will start, but the 856 has a heater and starts easier, so we avoid the headache. A water heater will start it right up, so if operating in under 40 degree conditions I would consider putting one on. Overall, I would not shy too far away from a 5750 price. That's ballpark - actually looking at some ads a little less. Good luck.
