Hello everyone,
I have a good friend of mine that is looking at a 1365 Oliver diesel tractor with the Fiat engine. Is this a Oliver painted Fiat tractor? Did other manufacturers use Fiat engines in tractors too? This tractor is for sale on a local Agco dealer lot. I have not seen the tractor myself. It has 2xxx hours on it. Good rear rubber. Good paint. Dealer wants $7000.00 for it. My friend wants a utility tractor is this hp range because he has a custom round baling business in summer for area horse hay buyers. So he mows a lot of county and township road ditches and some small acreages. He has a 5' rotary disc mower and would rake hay also. He round bales too, but could this tractor handle making say 5'x5' bales at the largest? My friend grew up with JD his whole life, and his dad won't even consider letting my friend buy anything but JD. He doesn't have that kind of money, and he doesn't care if it is a JD or not. Sorry I don't have any pics of this tractor, it is 25 miles away from my farm. What is the good or bad things to look for if my friend is serious about buying this tractor? Thank you everyone.
