2000 JD 4500 4WD

[GAGE]

I am looking at a 2000 JD 4500 4wd with a 460 loader. It has power reverse transmission, loaded rear tires with 968 hours. The front tires could use to be replaced but the rear are 50% or better. The tractor appears to be clean and all I have found that doesn't work is the emergency brake. I have it down to $14,500.00. Does this sound like a good/fair price? The seller say's it is a bank repo, but it is a nice looking machine.

What can I expect to pay for a tooth bar for the bucket as well as 2 hooks?

Thankyou for the input and look forward to contributing to this fantastic site!

I do not think it is unreasonable,go price a new one with the same set up. I am sure the new one would be several $$$ more. 968 hours is not hardly anything.

I'd say that is a pretty good price. The dealer offered me $15,500 on mine for a trade-in and it has 2000 hours on it. The compacts hold their value very well.

Lesson from a previous post:

<font color="red"> Make sure there are no outstanding liens against the tractor and that the seller truly owns it free and clear. </font>

Welcome to the TBN forum.
I would also talk to the local Deere dealer, and learn what other similar tractors are available. With the new replacements coming out, and the 4510 eHydro's being replaced already, the dealer may have something similar that is new, and close to that price. I have no idea, but that would be good information for you to have when negotiating on the used 4500. Good luck.
