I really find it ridiculous how little toys such as this are so expensive.

Thats clean, new back tires and everything. Looks
good to me.

Side note: If you dont like the things, why are you
hunting craigslist for them?

I stumbled across it while searching for other items on the list. Clean or not it is an absurd price for a toy.
 
Toy? It's one HP less than Ford 8N, much newer with way better hydraulics and with the little 3 cyl diesel cheap to run. It should run a 5' finish or brush mower, pull a 2 bottom plow, 6' tandum disk....ect. Perfect tractor for a hobby farmer or chore tractor for a small farmer. And the price is good. I'd rather have that than say an Farmall H. For my farm the H would be worthless considering the other tractors I have (Ford 8N, Farmall M that's only used pulling wagons and the manure spreader and the Farmall 1206).


Guess which one gets used the most! The Ford. I've got about 15 hours on the M this spring. Maybe 10 on the 1206 and about 70 on the Ford.

And go price an 8N in that condition.....


Only thing I see wrong with it are the turf tires.

Probably got turf tires because it was on a golf course. They use those little tractors to pull three gang rill type finish mowers.905 Kubota diesel is outstanding engine.

It seems like a pretty fair price to me, not that I have a use for one
myself. I like my Farmall H and I pull a 9' haybine with it, which
might be a stretch for that Kubota.

That is at the higher end of the price range. I used to use a L 175, on a sod farm, it would pull a 5 gang toro reel mower, a 300 gallon sprayer, and it only had about 13 HP. One day I was starting it, with my knee on the clutch, it slipped into gear, and started climbing my leg with the rear wheel. I had to bend down, and flip it over, so it wouldn't hurt me!

Well to me it's a toy. I'm thinking more like a Massey Ferguson 290 or 165 for the "hobby farmer". Or if you're into Ford's then an 801. I've seen those models of tractors going for that same price over here in my region. That is ridiculous for even the "hobby" farmer in my mind. Of course I'm sure some guys on here would scoff at the models of tractors I mentioned as being toys. So I guess it's all relative.
 
I wouldn't trade my little Kubota "hydro" for 3 Ford 8N's with live pto and infinate speed it's hard to beat. I put fuel in it once a week at the most.
 
I used to feel the same way- but we were using an IH 504 or similar size to clean horse barn, too big to maneuver around very well, wife hated running it. JD had a sale on 4010- 18.5 hp "compact utility", and we got one. Handiest thing ever- hydrostatic, easy to get on and off, uses about a cup of diesel an hour, loads and then pulls the manure spreader, sprayer, pasture harrow, etc.

As I said when we were looking at it- "But its so LITTLE!" Wife replied, "Well, big we got already. I think I could run this one, and get a lot done with it." That sold me, right there.
