About 11,000 is as low as he will go (maybe 10,500) the tractor has always been sheded and no leaky seals and the loader is like new as the school that had it before him basicaly just mowed with it. A little too small for his as he stacks round bales four high and wont lift them up far enough other wise he would not sell it. Has turf tires (new on front) so will have to change them evently. Seems like good tractor and it is much heavier than the newer 40 horse tractors of other brands so do not think traction will be a problem.
