While I’m generally a skeptic of old tractors with unusually low hours, this one looks like it may have some legitimacy to it.

I could believe the hours, but the ad says the blower and deck have never been used. Clearly not true. The blower chute clearly shows chips on the inside and the mower deck has paint rubbed off and rust on the front, sides, chute deflector and draft arms. Used very little that's for sure, but used none the less. If it never cut grass, then the owner drove around with the deck on for 285 hours. Fender pan has paint flaked off and rust.

Very nice machine and excellent package. Not worth $6000 though. I would pay $3500 CAD. The blade and blower make it a excellent snow removal package, but it is almost 30 years old. Either the seller is ignorant of the facts or is a liar.
