I would like some opinions on a 2030 that I looked at today. It had the deseil engine and power steering and appears to have been shed kept all of its life.(orig. paint looked very well) The tractors sheet metal was excellent except for a dent on top of the hood right at the grill. The owner said he has to add hydralic oil every now and then to the tractor and it does use some oil between changes. The tractor ran well and pulled the disk very well even on the high side.(8 speed transmission). I did notice some blow by out of the breather tube, which was a steady light flow of smoke while idle but not excessive. The tractor did not smoke from exhaust untill gave it some throttle and then it wasnt much. It poured down rain as I was tring the tractor so I did not get to run it but about 15 minutes. The power steering worked great. I figuerd that maybe his loss of hy. Fluid may be a leaky power steering cylinder. The Tach did not work but showed 4400 hrs. The temp and fuel gage did not work either. Tires on back were about 70% and fronts about 20%. I am new to the deeres so opinions would be appreciated and may help me make the right decesion on whether to buy or not. The blow by scared me a little, what is too much? What is the price range to stay in for the tractor I have described?

Check out website Link for a value. I've got a 2030 diesel and it too has blow by out the breather tube - maybe more than the one you're looking at. My tach had 5800 on it and it doesn't work either. I had work done on the brakes which seemed OK when I bought it, but weren't. That was expensive at a JD dealer! They replaced the PTO discs too at the same time. Except for that repair, which cost a fortune, I'm happy with the tractor. Lots of power for brush hogging!
