Deere 970
Looking for guidance on setting a price on my trusty old girl. Sweet 970 with 800 hours and looks great. Zero leaks or drips. She runs like new. Sims cab with a new in the box heater, turfs, 430 loader as well as a new in the box 72” mower and a mid pto kit. Only letting it go as I’m upgrading to a 4052 for more lift capacity to handle firewood. Turfs are perfect in my NW WI sand and snow. Would like to bundle it all and not piece it out. Consignment with the dealer for 10% is also an option…. Any thoughts are welcome on setting a price? $16.5 k nuts??? How best to sell without screwing around with lo-ball idiots etc? Thanks in advance.
Dan

Go to tractor house and look at ask prices for JD970’s. Factor in your condition/hours/accessories and come up with an appropriate ask price. Dont be surprised if you get ask or higher. Used tractors selling better than country real estate right now!

Agree with Hay Dude above.

set your asking price on the high side initially; you can always reduce it after a day or so.

Sell the 430 Loader (They are in HIGH demand) and the riding mower next to it,,

Keep the 970 and the mower,, if you have a need for a larger tractor,
you really need the 970 as your mowing machine,,

I mow with a JD 4105, I doubt that I could consider a smaller mower.

If the 970 is in good shape,, it is a "KEEPER",, do not let it go for a little $$$,,,

All of the history of John Deere type history books says that the execs at JD were surprised by the 970 type tractor.
The execs thought the 970 size machine was going to be a "FARM CHORE TRACTOR",,
Instead, virtually 100% of them were sold to mow grass.
