Another hypothetical about tractors. What is your goal for this tractor?
Around here we size the tractor to our needs and what we have: land size, soil type, type of crops raised, equipment size, # of plow bottoms, size of plow bottoms, # of chisel teeth, type of disk, size of disk disks and spacing, hitch type, hitch size, pto speed, hydraulic needs, TA need, transmission type need, loader need, tire size, tire tread depth, fuel type (gas or diesel) and costs, use in the dead of winter or not, etc. Tractor size doesn't help much if you have to buy all new equipment to match.
Alternately, we size it to the width of the street on the parade route.
Then we size the equipment need to the size of our bank account. Easy as pie. If you are rich, buy them both.
Before you spend a few hundred trying to get it into running shape, will he money back guarantee it runs, engine is ok, doesn't burn oil, no water in the oil, tranny is ok, rear end is ok, TA is ok, hydraulic pumps and valves and cylinders are ok, etc? What does the oil, water, & hytran look like? Will he guarantee the same price if you bring your own battery over or pull yours out of your pickup? Somehow you have to load it and get it home.
Answer those questions and somebody here can give you some thoughtful advice.
