After looking at the ads I guess it has to be worn out??

Are you saying you have not seen the machine? Definitely go see it. Another huge factor is if it was a rental/homeowner owner. Lots of people (me included) wont buy a rental. It will affect resale accordingly.

Two identical tractors in the same town 10 miles away. both 2000 both loader backhoe. 16?? hrs on one and 39?? hrs on the other.Haven't seen either up close. I'm leaning toward the 3900 hrs machine as it is $10000 cheaper and I can fix anything.If its a rental I assume it has been treated poorly right??. Is it worth $10000 more for the other machine and will the high hr one be a pile of junk necessarily? I'm not in favor of Jap Crap but think these are high quality pieces of equipment.
$10k is a big difference for being in the same town. I'd be leaning that way as well. Rental equipment isn't necessarily abused its just the people who are using it tend to not care about it as much and you will find more mistreatment - that said rental places take very good care of their machines because they have to make money off of them. Usually it isn't that big of a difference, it would really deserve a looking at for $10k difference even as a rental.
Have you looked at the newer models as well or are they out of your budget? You may be able to find a nice used newer model.

This is about as much as I want to spend.Just buying it to get my daughters horse ranch up and running.Don't want to brag but I can fix this.Don't want any computerized or digital crap.

I agree. Engine I can handle, add all the computer wires and it gets complicated. If all your doing is starting a horse farm I wouldn't think you would need a backhoe and you could get a compact in a little better shape with less hours for the same or less. For the very rare occasions you need the bh you can rent a mini ex. That's what I'd do anyway.

If doing three point hitch work is important, make sure you get one with all the 3PH hardware included. Would be hard to find used and expensive to get new if it could be ordered even. Good luck.
All you would need is the toplink, side links and the two bars. All the other hardware is on the tractor, including the hydraulic cylinder to lift the 3PH. I would imagine them hard to find used but no more than a couple hundred new if I were to guess.
If you plan to get a Top and Tilt in the future though I would say now would be the best time to get it and save yourself some money on one toplink and one side link.

I don't know what a top and tilt is. All the 3 point stuff comes with it. 4 new loaded tires also
A top and tilt controls the tilt of the 3PH attachment. Very useful for grading. Here's a video of a top and tilt and how it controls the attachment. Very nice.

Nice but not very high on my wish list right now.I think a hydraulic thumb or grapple bucket will be my first project.
I would agree to that. I'd rather have a thumb as well. Just something to have on the wish list:thumbsup:

Which one did you buy? Oh, and we like Pic's here
Bought the cheap one. Wasn't a rental but a trade in on a bigger tractor.Lots of new Mahindras for cheap but I'd sooner have an old Kubota. Seen too many off brands come and go over the years. Pics soon. They are installing the tires with ballast and delivering it Monday morning. Not real pretty but I can paint.Should be fun.
