Looking to purchase a Used Montana

[stanleyfink2000]

I have come a across an what some people are calling a steal on a 3040 Montana tractor its a 05 with 72 hours on it with a 5 foot bush hog and 7000 lbs dual axle trailer without FEL. He is asking 8500 for it. I know you guys don't usually like to throw numbers around but I had never heard of a Montana before and was wondering about their durabilty and what the pro's and con's are of them. I am also looking to purchase a FEL for it and have gotten mixed reports on them my understanding is that it can take two different kinds one that is skid steer attachment friendly one that isn't and priced 5000 and 3500 accordenly with the 3500 dollar one the dealer is stating thats the only one that fits. the 5000 dollar one is a ameri something.
A little help here please. How good are they, How good of a deal, Which loader fits and average going price. Thanks

Check out this website I don't know if they make a loader for that particular tractor but if they do their price will be good. Give them a call to see Its worth a shot.
