Case 470, should I buy it?

I'm looking at a Case 470 for sale by a private party. Looks really nice, said he did a valve job 2 weeks ago, all hydraulics appear good, good tires, good paint, asking $3,800 and said he'd talk turkey.

I need something to mow 10 scruffy acres, move around some snow, pull some tree stumps, etc.

Is this a good tractor choice and how's the asking price?

Thank you.

I can't imagine anything better for taking care 10 acres particularly if that thing is as good as it looks. A negotiable 3800 provides alot of tractor. Based on your stated needs it's only short coming may be pulling stumps and that would depend on the stump size. Food for thought, my dad takes care of 16 acres with a 311B which is roughly the same tractor. He pulls 3-14's, discs with a 14 ft tandem, mows with a 6 ft woods belly mower, plows snow with a 6ft blade among other things. Anything larger will start getting more cumbersome. My dad was also a Case store manager and sold one of these to the local golf course who had it for almost 30 years without any serious problems. Short of being used and abused the 470 is a nice machine. I'm not trying to be offensive, but what was your primary reason for passing it up?

Buy it. Especailly if he is willing to talk turkey with you. If it is a diesel that would be an even better buy. Those are good tractors with plenty of power. Even enough to pull tree stumps.
