For the money, you are getting a decent deal. My brother just spent right at $13,500 for just a loader that fits on the 2590 Case. I ran a 966 while working for a friend for a little over 2 years. Nice size tractor, and the shifting is WAY better than an 06 series or 86 series tractor. In my opinion for a gearshift tractor from IH, the 56 and 66 series had the easiest. We use our 1256 for most of the loader work, 2nd gear high and reverse works out just about right. As far as price on the tractor, the friend's 966 had around 5500 hours on it, was in nice shape and had a recent clutch job and sold for $13,000 on the auction sale. It was always stored inside and looked like it had a fresh coat of wax on it - but didn't, the original paint was still that good. Personally I say go for it. You won't find much more in the way of a loader and tractor for that price.
