Greetings all,
I need a tractor for my off grid cabin, general use maintaining the 1/2 mile dirt road, doing a bit of digging and moving dirt around. Some heavy lifting, prep'n ground for a few small buildings. The cabin about 70 miles from a town for parts.
And about $1K to move to to the cabin.
I'm looking at buying a Case 530CK. First time buying one.
Gasoline eng. Seems to run fine. Basic eng.
I'm more worried about hydraulic cylinders leaking fluids. More then normal amount for an old tractor. It seems to me.
Pretty much all the hydraulic hoses need replacing.
Just old and the suns UV rays have did their work on them.
All the main pins seems fine. one of the rear wheels need replacing. I'm not sure of the cost of that.
Any thoughts on the matter, gents?
Not for a novice ?
Spend a more cash and buy some more well maintained.
I'll save & be safer in the long run.
The tractor about 9000 lbs, I can't haul that with my truck, and I don't have a trailer that can carry that weight.
So once it's at the cabin, it will probably stay there. Any maintenance that I can't do. I will have to bring in someone.
Or transport it @ $1k a trip.
I'm I slowly talk myself out of a mistake?? LOL
What's the old saying, Penny-wise, but pound foolish.
If I'm not wasting you time, and your having a slow Saturday, please add some wisdom to my day.

I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery.
