Buying Advice M4950dt

Can't find much information on this kubota M4950 dt. Are they noted for any bad points. It is a 6 cylinder, which sounds nice in this video. They are asking $5950.00, hours says 3890. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtqIoUNt4nY

Kubota was still trying to get a foot hold in the U.S. market when the M4950 was a current model - so they didn't sell a huge number of them and there just isn't a big following among tractor owners or dealers. Another reason they are relatively unknown in the market is that they were very reliable with near-zero early failures. Regarding value, as any tractor's hours get above 3000 it's original build quality starts to become secondary to how it has been used and how well maintained. In 3890 hours of operation, even the best tractor can get pretty worn. Good luck
