They are a good heavy tractor. The problem is the engine. If you need any parts you only have AGCO to get them at. A simple overhaul sleeve kit, bearing, and gaskets will run you over $10,000. NO JOKE!!! I have done two in the last year and a half. They are few if any after market engine parts for them. That makes them be high priced(like gold).
That Hercules engine is not a high hour running engine. It seems that they will only last 3-5 thousand hours between rebuilds.

Are you just looking for the "deal" or is your budget real limited??? The reason I am asking is that the total cost of ownership is different than just the purchase price. It is the purchase price + maintenance cost - resale value. You will find the better "deal" is going to be a mainline tractor that will cost less to maintain and has a good resale/residual value. That will also take into consideration the local dealer network too.
