kcrudy 3 #1 Posted September 22, 2015 I have a chance to buy a 520xi with mower deck and push blade for $600. I have not physically seen the tractor yet, just a pic. The seller claims there are no known issues besides flat front tire. What do you all think is this a good deal or not? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmsgaffer 2,046 #4 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) If its runs well and drives, they usually go for twice that at least. I have seen two listed on CL recently for over $2k. Edited September 22, 2015 by bmsgaffer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shallowwatersailor 3,213 #6 Posted September 22, 2015 It looks to be a 1998 with a 48" deck. If it runs, make sure that the temperature gauge doesn't move into the "Red." The front bumper valance is commonly found broken. Pricey to replace but it is just for looks. A deflated tire is no big deal. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WNYPCRepair 1,923 #7 Posted September 22, 2015 It is a great price, almost too cheap. but maybe the owner just doesn't know what he has 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cdsl810 181 #15 Posted September 23, 2015 The price of the 5xi series on the street is in the 4-digit range everywhere...If it runs, swiftly drive it on to your trailer, strap it down, hand over the cash, and drive quickly away before he realizes there is a 1 or a 2 in front of the $600.Then watch in your rear view mirror for cops... that's grand theft tractor! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
