What do I look for in used tractor?

[varmint]

Maybe I've been lucky, but I've bought two used Kubota's from private sellers. Both seemed genuine and honest, and they were. Of course, the tractors appeared well cared for without being freshly "detailed" and came from owners who had actually owned and used them. If you feel something is off when talking to a seller, maybe it's time to walk away. On the other hand, if everything feels okay, maybe it is. I wouldn't automatically avoid a private sale
