Jerry77 1,218 #2 Posted October 19, 2016 Caveat Emptor - let the buyer beware ( I wouldn't buy something like that without checking it out in person ( unless it was a trusted RS member) . Thats not many hours on an 88 or 89 whichever it is--whatever it is worth to you, but you will spend more to get a deck etc and maybe repairs..... members here advertise various machines in the classifieds and will give you an honest price and details about the machine..just sayin'..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dball 12 #4 Posted October 19, 2016 I would look at it b4 I would buy it I have a 520h I just want anouther 1 lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt-NEPA 755 #5 Posted October 19, 2016 I'm thinking it would be about $100-300 for a deck here in PA. If you add the median $200 to $875 you get $1075. That seems to be the price that I see 520HC's listed for in my NE - PA area, but few are selling. I guess it comes to condition and need. Its up to you, but it looks a little high to me. But then again I've paid a few extra $$ for a tractor I wanted. No regrets. Decisions Decisions........ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jellyghost 378 #6 Posted October 20, 2016 If he came down $50 on the phone, he will come down more in person. Just make faces while crawling around looking at the tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forest Road 593 #10 Posted October 21, 2016 Sounds familiar. I had a guy w a 520h 250ish hours snow blower and 42" RD in PA just last week. Texted back forth several times. Was hard to nail down for appointment. Then all of a sudden his son sold it. Move on and keep looking. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'88 520H , rear tiller attached and working, 48 inch mower deck,mule drive with belt, single stage snow thrower all in excellent condition crap.............................. What a f#cking LIAR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuneup 1,412 #13 Posted October 22, 2016 If you are like me, you buy the whole package - tractor and experience. It's more than a tractor - you'll remember the sale process every time you look at that tractor. If that memory is of being deceived and it's a bother, pass it by. Another will come along.

Lagersolut 613 #15 Posted October 22, 2016 I learned from past bad experiences ( the hard way ) not to let my wants override my gut feeling and common sense. Not to sound mean, but I don't have patients or time for lies and games .....the minute it starts , I walk and don't lose a minutes sleep over it. Selling stuff same thing, had one guy here at the house looking at an enclosed trailer I was selling actually had me half scared at the fit he threw, to the point if I ever sell something again a holstered Ruger will be on the belt. Sad but true. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
