I don't know much about Olivers, and maybe Mr. Lund could tell me if this tractor is priced right. Any other Oliver experts feel free to chime in. Seem high to me.http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/grd/4407285623.html

Seems a little high to me too John, but I'm not an Oliver expert.
Here's a link to the ad.

HEY NOW, lets have a positive attitude! "It has lost of extras" kinda odd none of them are listed though...

Looks like a $500 tractor and about a $300 blade to me. Bryce

Looks like it might not be too far out of line. Has power steering which is much sought after in the 550. Looks like pretty good rear rubber, also.

Well he is about $2000 high for the market here in Iowa. Clean Oliver 550s will sell in the $1500-2500 range.

yea, it sounds like he's mighty proud of it to me

Doesn't look like exhaust pipe is one of the extras.

rrlund · Apr 5, 2014

Well,it would be just a touch on the high side MAYBE. Like somebody said,it has power steering,that's an expensive option. I can't see if it has a remote valve. If it does,that's more money. He just might get that for it.

Bryce, your prices that you think tractors are worth are less than scrap prices here, think you need to adjust your figures a bit.

Traditional Farmer · Apr 5, 2014

If its in real good mechanical condition it should bring the asking price put a nice Oliver green paint job on it and it'll sell for that or more easily.

rrlund,Is that your farm picture on the cover of "Eastern Farm and Livestock directory magazine?All "OLIVERS"May Issue.

Bryce Frazier · Apr 5, 2014

Really?? Thats about right around here in North Idaho, MAYBE a little more on the tractor if it was nice running and driving in person. I think we are in different parts of the world, huh?! Bryce

"Lots of extras" may be pushing it- has power steering, but no power adjust wheels, no swinging drawbar, probably no remote hydraulics (no remote outlets, anyhow). I'd say $2,500 if it runs good.

Is it true you can't use the 3 point if the swinging drawbar is installed? I have a swinging drawbar on mine, but it may be home-made or after market. Not wide like the stock unit, and I can use the 3 point with it on.

Nope,not mine.
