First impressions are usually right. Take a good look at each tractor as you are walking up to it, faded paint is nothing to worry about, total absence of paint means the tractor has spent most of it's life outdoors, which is hard on other parts of the tractor as well. Next, inspect the tires, depth of tread, weather checks, cracks, etc. Do the tires match? particularly important for rear tires. New rear tires can cost approximately $500 for the size you are looking at. Next, how many hours are on it, just like miles on a car. If the hours are high, find out what repairs have been done recently, and ask for proof.
