George - I'm no expert but the obvious things I would check for are Oil leaks -- how bad a little here and there should be expected imho the engine should have a smooth "purr" due to the turbo at full throttle check that the transmission smoothly engages (note you should do the test at min rpm of 1800) note any warning lights -- see if there is a maintenance log (tell you if the previous owner cared about the machine) check the oil levels Look for excesive electrical tape "wads" might be a source of a short or some other odd electrical problem. engage pto should be smooth if possible have hydrualic's pressure tested and note the overall appearance of the machine. at 6000 hrs you should expect to plan on a overhaul depending on the performance of the motor. I know this is not complete but its a start maybe some of the other posters can add to this list.
Good luck -- I knew getting into mine there would be alot of work ahead but im very happy with my purchase and can not wait until im finished with it..
this series is one of the best that allis made.. From what i have read and been told by other farmers. Regards, Bill
