Are you shopping for an old tractor? In this video, I walk you step-by-step through what to look for when buying a used tractor. I go through the simple checks that can be performed when buying both from a private owner and at auction: assessing the health of the engine, transmission, hydraulic system, PTO, and brakes. Looking for indicators of how well the tractor was cared for, and what problems may be lurking unseen in a tractor that is not properly checked out. There are clear indicators of major mechanical problems that do not require much mechanical expertise to see, and there are common problems that are relatively cheap to fix; I will teach you the difference between the two. Buying an old tractor can be a cheap alternative to buying new, but you have to do your homework first!
