Ford 8240

I found the below tractor on tractorhouse. I wondered does anyone have any good or bad of this particular model tractor. I want to get this tractor and use it exclusively for all of my hay baling .

The price is what caught my eye as well but I love ford and new holland tractors as well.

Gray market.

16k is too high for that tractor.

To me, $11-12k if everything works. But I'd be very skeptical of that tractor, it's had a lot of touch-up work.

Yea, I will walk the lot and see what they have.

I've been looking at used tractors. You guys ever dealt with Hartman in Linville. If you don't want to comment on here send me a PM.

I haven't dealt with Hartman I am not very experienced in buying from a dealer as most of my tractors came from private sale or equip. auctions. I have saw some tractors I liked on the website.

I would highly suggest looking elsewhere, they're a bunch of pricks. Half the consignment auctions in our area are full of their tractors, and they'll act like they don't know who owns them at the auction and run the bidders for all they're worth. Also seen them pass out their number to others and have other folks bid for them on items. They're not very well thought of locally.

Thanks a bunch cfpinz. That's good enough for me. See their stuff on tractorhouse.
Too many pricks down here to drive that far just to find more. I do appreciate you.
