The price sounds a little high not running. Might want to work a deal to get it running first, at least let you do some investigating, or ask them to drop the price.
It may very well be stuck. Will it break loose? That's the big question
Storing under a tarp is very conducive to condensation, and rodents love them!
If you get it...
Crack loose every drain plug, check for water. If there is water, let it drain until you get oil. If it does run, be prepared to change all the fluids.
Check the wiring for chewing, check the air intake for nests, check everywhere else they could chew hoses or build nests.
Before trying to turn it through with the starter, try turning it by hand. Even if it will turn, best to get some oil in the cylinders. If it has glow plugs you can pull them, or pull the injectors, give each cylinder a few shots of ATF. Might want to open the valve cover, turn it through and watch the valves, be sure none are stuck open or any bent pushrods.
Once it is turning by hand, service the fuel system, turn it through with the starter before putting the injectors or glow plugs in. Crank until you get fuel to the injector lines. If you can't get fuel to the injectors, there may be problems in the injector pump.
Six years is not really a long time, unless something unusual was happening, like open exhaust stack, or no antifreeze.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
