My brother-in-law is looking for a tractor with live PTO, 3 pt, and loader for mowing, firewood removal from his "forest", and snow plowing from his driveway/parking area in northern Michigan.
He presently does not have a tractor, and has average to medium mechanic experience.

he's looking at a 1977 David Brown 885 with loader - 4400 hours - diesel - good tires - loose PS - dingy sheet metal. For sale by a Case dealer 150 miles away for $6900.

My experience is JD green. Does this sound like a fair price for this tractor?

thanks for your opinions

Good tractor. Seems a little steep. I have a Case 1194 (about three models newer & essentially same tractor) Diesel, power steering 3060 hours and solid as a rock for sale for $4500 in western Pa. Probably a $300 haul.

I have one of these. Nice tractor. Good power for the size, hard starting in cold weather(diesel). I did not have a bucket on mine, but it has been converted to 12volt and everything else works. I gave around 2000.00 for mine. I guess if all the electrical works, noleaks, loader and good rubber, it might not be that bad of a price. Goood luck.

Seems like a high price. I looked at one here in Utah for $3,000 that was in fair shape with 2200 hrs and great tires. However this one did not have a loader but it was also a diesel. Hope this helps.

Price seems high to me too. I would insist on a bunch of work being done to meet that price.

I would have thought about 5000 to 5500 would be more like fair market unless it is in mint condition.
