I bought my 450 for $1800.00, put $1200.00 in the motor, $500.00 into steering and hydraulics, new front tires- $100.00, needs new rear tires- $500.00, new fluids all around- $150.00, the radiator has a slow leak -$300.00 for a new one, And I haven't even thought about paint yet. I guess I'm saying what the others have said in that the tractor will be worth about what you put in it and it's up to you to figure out how "new" you want it.

The only people that make a profit in this hobby are the parts dealers!!!
