Hello All -
I have enjoyed the wealth of knowledge here on the forums in helping me narrow down my choice of tractor for my new property. I have recently moved onto 8 acres, wooded, with only about 2.5-3 acres that require maint. I'll be mowing around a pond with some hills that is rough cut grass, using the tractor to haul firewood up to the barn for splitting, basic landscaping, snow maint in NE Ohio (snowbelt), etc.
I have settled on a Max 26 and have been looking at new and used in the area.
I found a deal on a used model 2014 with 300 hours, loader, backhoe and shuttle shift for about $14500. Its not original owner - it was a trade in, but since its still under warranty I think its safe. It looks meticulous with the only minimal scratches being on the buckets from light use.
Do you guys find this to be a good deal, and if so, is there anything I should be on the look out for when checking it out? Its about a 4 hr drive, so I want to get all my ducks in a row first.
Thanks
Michael
