Buying Advice Any reason not to get interested in this 2013 3720? Or anything to watch for?

I currently have a Kubota L3200 HST(32hp, 3,500lbs with loader & loaded R4s). It's been a good machine for my first tractor, but it's been to cold plowing/blowing this winter & is to hot & dusty in the summer. So I've been contemplating & researching upgrading for a while. A little more weight & HP would be nice as always, but isn't absolutely mandatory for my needs. The Economy Kubotas were better than the Economy JDs, but I'm not particularly brand loyal, especially if I can get a good deal on a used machine.

So Ready to go-213 John Deere Tractor 372 Diesel, E Hydrostatic, MFWD popped up on my radar today.

Ready to go-2013 John Deere Tractor 3720 Diesel, E Hydrostatic, MFWD - $26500 (Castle Rock)

2013 John Deere 3720 Diesel E Hydro Tractor, 44 HP Drawbar, 35 HP PTO, 86.4 Original Hours, Deluxe Cab, A/C & Heat, AM/FM Radio, Satellite Ready, also includes Air Ride Seat, Factory Side Mirrors. One Owner Used for Private Use Only, Very Clean Tractor, Factory Build Sheet, All maintenance paperwork included & original JD books included for buyer.

I'm presuming it's not a tier 4 (yay, no emissions crap), Low hours, more weight than I have now & a better power to HP ratio. Odd that there is no bucket pictured & I have no lawns to mow for the MMM (Have a 72" flail for my fields). Turbo machine, which is good for our lack of Oxygen up here in Colorado.

Anything I should be worried about other than the always possible scam? I only do Craigslist business in cash in person, so not that worried about getting scammed.

I am glad both of my tractors have cabs and I enjoy the comfort.

Parker CO at 5700 ft. would not be a problem for a naturally aspirated diesel. My 110 without a turbo works well at 8000 feet. The 3720 is a nice tractor and I really like the ehydro. Hope it works out for you but I see the ad has beem taken down,

Looks like it was a moot point as it has been taken down.

Ya, no reply at all. A a scam I guess. A pretty good one that didn't have the flags most scams usually have, other than the suspiciously good price.

Not quite ready to upgrade anyway.
