As you might know I have been looking at the 4530 and 5035. Found a 4530 that was sold october 2012, only 14 hours and comes with a back blade 7'. Any suggestions on what to look for, leaks, loose bolts etc. Thanks for everyone's help. I could buy this setup new for about $25,500 but might be able to get this used unit and blade for less than 20k. Any help appreciated.
Going to check out a used 4530, what should I look for?????

14 hours is basically still new, I've seen demos with that many hours on them. It's just been sold to someone else first and well worth it if you can save over 5K. You can look for leaks but at 14 hrs. don't think you'll find much wrong. Get the owners manual and/or service and parts manuals so you know what to check, re torque, change, and at what intervals.
Check with Mahindra first to make sure the remainder of the factory warranty can be transferred to you. (I think it can with some paperwork, documentation).

You will be able to claim warranty with the serial number and if the owner has the info of when and were he bought it that will make things a lot easier. 4530s are pretty basic id service it right off the bat if it hasn't been done since its a 2012 model. Those tractors are built stout and can lift more than most 60hp tractors you will enjoy it.

I have a 4530 and couldn't be happier, I just went over the 60 hour mark and the only "issues" I have had have been my own fault. It is a very heavy, powerful rig that made the Kubota that I was borrowing feel like a toy.
