Probably best to stay away from that one. I know this sounds crazy, but a tractor like that will actually deteriorate if not used every day and worked hard once in a while. The batteries will not stay charged, the engine will carbon up from being idled around, ect. Then there's the maintenence cost. Figure at least 2 engine oil changes a year no matter how few hours you put on it. 706 Gas REQUIRES CASE-IH LOW ASH OIL or else you will burn valves. That oil is about $2.50 a quart and you need 9 quarts a change. Diesel oil isn't much cheaper. That tractor will require a 16-gallon hy-tran change every year. Coolant change every two years. And no matter what's been done to it recently, it will break down eventually. If you don't feel comfortable working on it, you'll be paying somone $40-60 an hour labor plus parts to do the repairs. Doesn't take much of a breakdown to rack up a $1000 repair bill anymore.
