I'm considering an L3710,4wd,with a LA 681 loader that has about 900 hours on it. Dealer says it is a 2001 year. Are there any things I should be aware of with that tractor/loader when I check it out? Problems? Characteristic issues?
What is a reasonable price to pay? Thanks for your help.

Was the tractor used in the industrial arena. It would be great to know what the tractor was used for. If it looks good, is not always a factor. Will the dealer give you any kind of warrenty. It would have to be real cheap, or some kind of support. ....

I haven't been to the dealer yet. He just sent me some pictures. The pictures are hard to tell because it looks like it could have a quickie paint job...there's a marketing name for that I believe. From the pictures it looks in decent shape physically... no obvious dents or distortions or such.
What's cheap? ....

To answer your first question, I don't know how it was used. I've inquired about that, but the guy I talked to left for a conference today and won't be back till Mon. ....

I would wonder although not worry over the thousand hours as I'm working with a three thousand hour unit now that has more of a rust problem more then running or operating. This tractor installed lawns with a blade on the front and a Harley on the rear during the summer and a commercial blower instead of the rake during the salty winter! It was the clean-up crew from the plow trucks and blew back the banks and cleaned up as well as some primary plowing. I like the link for a chuckle when ever I'm making a purchase. It seems to fit many items and car's especially but many other things fit. Just go to tractor buying guide! ....

Thanks Art, but not being a premium member I missed the last part of your comments. Was there much more?
Also I checked with dealer again and they said it was used hard. (How hard with 900 hrs. over 5 yrs?)
What's a fair price for something like this? ....

Ask the dealer to very carefully define "hard" for you. I have people lined up to buy my machines when they're being replaced. They now go 2 years and get about 3,000 hours in that time. If it was a nursery or similar, don't touch it.
Best of luck. ....
