L5740 or some tractor

Do as Turf Care indicated - have a friend inquire/offer and be the "strawman" in this case and approach this rather unhappy seller - that way you can determine if you want to engage him again or walk away.

Also, the seller is going thru a tough time and doesn't want to sell but is forced to, and that would make me unhappy too, but its business.

Finally have the $ available and not waiting on a loan etc. as the seller needs to get it done, and doesn't likely care about the buyer's issue / cash loan etc.

There seems to be plenty of used tractors of interest showing up.

Exactly, no good reason to have to compromise.

Regarding changing tires from one type to another, it usually involves changing both tires and RIMs, and that can add up. It's a much bigger tractor, but I have been looking at Deere 5 and 6 series tractors, some of which would need different tires, and it would cost in the neighborhood of $20k ($5k per wheel) to switch. The fronts are less than the rears, but that's how it averages out. On the tractors you are looking at, I wouldn't be surprised if it's in the $2k to $3k range per wheel. With a little research you can get all the part numbers and pricing in advance to know what you are up against.

I'd guess whatever tires a tractor comes with, stays. The last atv we purchased, was over $1000 to switch the tires out. Didn't do it.

This kubota is still up FS on FB for over 50+K. Its overpriced.

I agree it is over priced. Is the John Deere still available?

Make him an offer he most likely will refuse.

I believe the more locale JD is gone.

Yet another showed on on FB marketplace not overly far from us.

"Like New 113 hrs!!! John Deere 4044R 4x4 Heat & A/C Loader and Bucket Air Ride Seat.

Was 45k reduced to $40k". View attachment 3618478

This unit a 2014 John Deere 4044R with 113 hours is still up FS. He seemed motivated when I messaged him. Maybe he'd take 35K? Does need one rear and a front hydraulics added to it
