How to buy a good used farm tractor. Great Information, tips and money saving advice! Buyer Beware!

What happens here

Inspect the rear of the tractor, specifically looking for any parts that are a different color from the original paint, as this may indicate replaced components due to damage. For example, a yellow part on a red tractor suggests a repair. Test the lift bars by standing on them (with a buddy if available) while the tractor is running to ensure they hold their lift. Faulty lift arms can be a costly repair (around $1000).

Goal: Identify replaced parts and verify hydraulic lift arm functionality
