Opinions on a JD 955

[Whitnel]

Found a 955 with loader for $12,500. I don't know the hours yet. It would come with a rock rake, some type of 3 way excavator (looks like pull type box blade), 6' flail mower and a 6' finish mower.

I think this machine has enough power just concerned about the age. I have not read anything negative about these tractors but wanted to see what everyone thought about the price. I had been looking at slightly newer tractors.

Those x55 series Deeres always kept their prices, so I don't think $12500 is out of line (although I'd offer about $11K and negotiate up from there).
This also depends on the overall condition (for $12.5K, it should be in very good condition) and hours (maybe 800-1000 hours).
If you're really interested, don't hesitate long...you'll miss it. But if it's not what you want, don't hesitate to walk away either.
Good luck!
