I am what they'd call a "City Folk" and recently moved to Minnesota and purchased an old 9 acre farm building site.

Can anyone who technically understands these tractors please spoon feed me with regards to what I should look for, it has over 5,900 hours. The seller wants $5,000.00 and the tires are in good condition but what the heck do I know, it's not like buying a car that I can check their auto service records.
