How to choose appropriate used tractor?

The seller of used tractors are always the people who do not want to work in agricultural machinery farming, or they want to sell the old one and then buy a new one. As the buyer of the used tractor, we are afraid of the tractors with malfunction like tractor engine problems. Especially, some tractors are sold because they can not be repaired well. There even are some tractors which experience accidents. So if we want to buy used tractor, it is not a easy thing for us. Here are some key suggestions of buying the used tractor, let’s have a look.

 

 

The appearance

1. The color of oil paint. If the used tractor has been used for a long time, its oil paint will accelerate the ageing and the color will fade. Except for the hood paint of the tractor, the black oil paint of the tractor also should be pay attention to.

2. The appearance of screws and nuts. We should check the repairing situation of the tractor, for example, repaired parts like nuts have the loose sign. If the connecting bolts of gearbox and rear axle have the screwing sign, it means that the tractor must be repaired.

3. Entire oil leakage. Some used tractors all has the oil leakage such as engine or rear axle parts. If the oil of tractor leaks seriously especially the breathing hole has more oil leakage, we should consider the engine exhaust problem at this time and check tractor oil pressure gauge.

 

 

Service time

1. The time on the gauge. This time is comparative accurate which can reflect the concrete using time as the reference of buying.

2. The delivery time. If the gauge can show the time or it has some problems, we can see the delivery time and have an estimation. Usually a tractor can be used 400-500 hours a year.

 

 

Testing the car

1. Sound. There are two sounds which we need to hear. The first one is the sound of tractor engine. We need to check whether the sound is strange. The second one is the sound of tractor chassis and check whether the sound is strange during the working.

2. Smoke. The smoke is quite important for buying a used tractor. Because the engine is the heart of the tractor. So we must have a check.

3. Power. It’s better to drive the used tractor to work and check the actual power.

 

 

Price

The price is one of the keys points of buying a used tractor. The price of the tractor which has been used for 1000 hours or 2 years is basically 50% off. The price of the tractor with 3 years above decrease 10% every year. But the price is not absolute. It depends on the situation of the tractor and the tractor engine types.
