Price Check 97 NH 1715 Price Check

[McREBEL]

I have been researching tractors for almost a year now and the tbn forum has been a big contributor. I finally have the ability to make a purchase. :cool2: I have come across a '97 New Holland 1715 4x4 with 1,296 hrs. No FEL. I haven't seen it in person yet. It looks pretty good in the pictures though. Is this price about right? If not, what should I offer? Any opinions on this tractor concerning durability and/or parts availability would be greatly appreciated too. It also has a trans pto. How much of a negative is this? This will be my first tractor purchase and I really don't want to mess this up. Thanks for any help.

I think its about $2000 to much. I have seen bigger and nicer tractors for that amount.

Thanks crankshaft21, but the newb forgot to post the asking price. :ashamed: $5,950

After sleeping on it I think I am going to pass on this one anyway. I finally had the ability to purchase, got the buying fever really bad, and was considering compromising on what I want. Which is: 4x4, hydrostatic, 25-30 hp, and FEL. I could forgo the FEL and add it later. The 1715 doesn't have a hydrostatic tranny.
