Buying Advice Looking to hire someone to check out a tractor near Grand Rapids MI

[Dave from GA & KY]

As the title says I'm considering a tractor near Grand Rapids MI and would like to hire someone qualified to check it out and give me a report. I live in GA and have a farm in KY, if I end up buying this tractor I'd have it shipped from MI to KY.

It's a John Deere 5425, open with canopy & JD 542 loader.

Did you end up getting the tractor?

I purchased a Ditch Witch RT40 in Maryland (I live in Ohio) I asked a lot of questions and for lots of pictures and videos.
Had Uship bid for shipping and good to go.

Since it's a JD, I would have local JD dealer send a tech and get pre sale inspection done. It would be money well spent.
I will say the JD 5x25 series tractors have good reputation.
Private party or dealer selling?
