Don't let the horror stories scare you. They are a darn good tractor, but like any machine, they need to be properly maintained. You can get the engine oil analyzed for metal wear and coolant contamination, the antifreeze tested for anti cavitation levels and the hydraulic oil for brake material. Sloppy pivot point on the clutch pedal means a lot of hours, say over 6 or7000, or a lot of loader work. Check the date codes on both air filters, and see if the pre cleaner screen in the trans is deposit free. Check front pump drive coupler for looseness (not good) .Engine should start with little cranking and no smoke, and little smoke even under load. If you can, get the front wheels off the ground to see if the wheel bearings are good and the linkage is tight and the spindles are not loose. A worn seat suspension indicates high hours. Test the brakes for sponginess and effectiveness, and that all hydraulics function normally as does the pto engagement. I have put about 25000 hours on 3 Mannhiem JD with very few problems, but I am fussy about maintenance. Good luck! Ben

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
