Looking at a 97' B20 with loader & backhoe. It has approx. 1000hrs on it.They are asking $13,800 for it but said they would take $13,000 for it.Was woundering if it would be a good deal..We just bought 51.5 acres for hunting.Going to be putting up stands,cleaning some ditches,making a few food plots,ect..thought it might be a good machine for that.Should I know anything else about a B20 that would be helpful? Thanks for your time..

Right off the top I'm not sure what to look for specifically. Somebody here will.
I do know that most TLB (tractor,loader,backhoe)in dealers lots with more than average hours on them are rental returns. Although for a 6+ year old machine 1000 hours is not too bad. Of course in the grand scheme of things I think the number that people use for life on these types of diesel engines is aprox 3500 - 4000 hours per cylindor. So if compression seem OK and the hydraulics are in good working order, check welds, brackets, and overall metal fatigue. Hopefully some "expert advice" will come along soon. There's plenty of folks here that have xlnt CUT and general tractor knowledge
I'm just a grease monkey, how smart do I have to be?
Good luck to you.

Well with the rops and canopy on the B20. Theres a nice place to mount a gun rack on it. I have seen gun racks on a couple farmer buddies tractors. That loader make a nice place to hang a deer. So you can drive out into the woods, shoot the deer, carry it back with the loader, let it drain while hanging from the loader bucket, and then use the backhoe to bury the bones. ....
