Sorry for the delay getting back here. First off, it does not have power steering. I've played around on it a little and although I can tell it, its really not too bad to me. It might be a little different if I had to be on it for a couple of hours. We did take the loader off and it handled even better. The previous owner kept the loader off of it. He had probably come to the same conclusion. As far as the price....I still dont know a fair price. I found one like mine but w/o the loader for $6500. And I found one more just like mine except it looked alot rougher for $9000. I just need more information because I want the price to be fair to both parties. I never asked the guy about the price for just the tractor. I also bought his tandem wheel trailer to haul the tractor. So it was a one price deal
