i bought a MF255 about 18 months ago and so far am pleased. I gave $5200 so if the loader is good and relatively new, the price may not be bad. My guess is though that you might bargain it down a little. I would drive it and see if the multipower works. I wouldn't touch it if there was a problem there. Also, a sign that you might have a future problem there would be if you have excessive oil or fluids come out of the weep hole underneath the clutch housing. Make sure that it hasn't been stopped up with mud or dirt intentionally. If you want it, see if you can get them to service it for you with fuel filter, oil change and filter, and the hydraulic system change and filter service as part of the deal. The ends of the three point arms break down and there are pins that are spring loaded to latch. mine were broken and I had to replace them. Also, pull the grill and take a good look at the radiator for damage and check the steering cykinder for excessive fluids and general looseness in the front steering mechanisms. Big Dean's website is a good resource. They have both wet and dry brake systems. Half moon stamping on the back of the rear axle housing means wet.
