Around here, lots of tractors with quite a few hours were leased to the state to mow road edges. When they come in off lease, they usually put a loader on them and sell them. Some of them still have a little warranty left. My neighbor bought a Case IH like that a few years ago and it was a pretty good tractor. My concern is that every Tom, Dick and Harry has been driving it and they might not care how they treat it.

His new Case IH, Maxxum 125, was made in England. I've put about 150 hours on it hauling big bales and mowing pastures with a 20' brush hog. Other than being an electronic nightmare, it is a good, tough tractor. It has lots of plastic parts, one of which I broke when I ran over a log! My old JD 4430 doesn't have that problem.
