Hi You need to find out parts prices/availability agco and some others are having problems right now, can be weeks or months on some stuff. you need to find local dealer service rates or if there is a dealer near too. Rates here are mostly $120 an hour, the first hour just covers the paper work :-(. All these tractors are getting out of the fix it your self league. 4000 hours is not a lot if it's been maintained right. I know 4000 hour stuff and the only thing not worn is the paint on the oil drain plugs. if not looked after a 15000 hour serviced right might be better in some makes. I fix 2 Landinis near 5000 hrs and would not want them in my fleet Getting un reliable and parts more expensive than Massey, if you can get them And not the same build quality on the ones I see . The Mccormic was not very succesful round here local farm had one new a year and went JD due to problems. The other thing I watch on low hour not worked hard stuff is what fell off under warranty with hard work . I have seen guys buy low hour not worked hard stuff, take it to the field and proper work it. Then find this stuff go wrong and pay the price outta pocket No warranty. As they say buyer be ware!
