Its a 1995 John Deere 670 4wd diesel with 412 hours. Has 60" deck and rear blade and has been garage kept. Neighbor said I could have it all for 6k. Here are daylight photos, it has a 3 pt hitch and hydralics for a front bucket. He also said he added some type of pto connection for $1800 that allows a hook up of a wood splitter.

Thanks everyone for your input, He took 5500 and I bought it. Its not for my lawn but for the hunting cabin about 45 min away. some of the hills were getting a little scary for me and the old 2wd JD 400. Thanks again. ToddIMG_0454.jpg

    For six grand you could buy an older full size tractor and finish mower and have a wider selection of impliments than what you can get for that little John Deere.(brush hog, blade, tiller, loader, ect, ect)

    if it is a gear shift transmission that is a decent price. If it is hydrostatic drive, then that is a steal.

    That's no lawn tractor there. For six grand, you better be signing a check.

    Could very well be worth 6 grand since it has 4WD and the wieght bracket in front. It's kinda low hours for it's age too. It also looks as if it has the hydraulic couplers for a bucket loader.

    Maybe Cowdoc will come along, but you could always ask a John Deere dealer.

    Mowing with tractor tires will chew up the yard. Ebay tractor has correct tires. I believe that is a 30HP tractor, NO hydrostat. With a front end loader added you will have around 8-8.5K in it.

    412 hours?? I'm kind of surprised to find 1 with that low hours and yet there is another on ebay.

    670 is the smallest of that series. So it's not much useful except lawn mowing.

    Looks like the guy didn't like breathing the exhaust so he raised it up with that pipe.

    I think it is a little high, but in comparison, what would a good 500 series lawn and garden tractor cost with a 60" deck? Probably around 6k. Maybe more.

    It maybe high, but if it was me it already be in my driveway. It looks well care for and that's a classic look.
    I'm sure you can get a better price on a different one or the Ebay one but are you going to be able to test it and look at it in person. What about shipping for the one on Ebay. And in the future if you have questions on what's been done to it you have the last owner right there to ask.
    Like I said I think it may cost more, but your saving in shipping and you can give the thing a real test drive and have all you question answered now and in the future. And if your looking to dump a junk tractor would you dump it off on your neighbor?

    The big question is do you need all that it can do? If you are just looking to cut your grass, there are a lot of cheaper solutions (<$2k new). The extra $4k would buy a lot of nice guns.

    Yeah it's probably worth it if you feel comfortable about the hours. For $1800 extra, it better be the entire log splitter or an additional hydraulic pump driven off the pto.

    Someone ask for a John Deere dealer??

    Wholesale value on a 670 with 4wd and 60" mower is $4,699.00
    That is with an average of 4690hrs. The allowance for hours is $.60 per hour.

    It is 18.5hp with a gear drive. It is a nice looking tractor.

    Retail price on that tractor is $6,200.00 plus you can add for the low hours, but you will not want to allow a lot for the low hours because there are several of these small tractors with low hours on them.

    They will all have 3 point on them, and unless you have a hydraulic splitter or some other need for a pump, it is not worth much.

    It is not a great deal, but not an unfair price for what he has either.

    Good luck,

    Mike

    You know your neighbor or at least I hope that you do. You should know how well the tractor was taken care of, and it appears that this was was well cared for. 25 or 30 HP engine?

    That ones does not appear to be hydrostatic. It does have a CAT 1 three point hitch which means that a ton of implements can be got for it as long as they are within the HP rating of the tractor. You do not want to put a 6' King Cutter roto tiller on the back of it when the engine and drive line can only handle a 4 foot one.

    It is worth six grand easy if, like I said it was taken care of.

    I would say that he had a live PTO installed that allows the PTO to run while no one is on the tractor.

    If you grab it and decide to get a brush hog later on. Dont forget to pick up a PTO overrun clutch also. For it can save you a large repair should the blade hit something solid. PTO overrun clutches are a good idea with anything really that uses a shaft to drive it.

    Offer him $5000.00 if he says no. Then hand him the full six grand and take it.

    Basically the low hours tell me that some guy/woman with more $$ than they knew what to do with got this to mow their 1-2 acre lawn with. It looks like it is in really good shape. If you plan to do more than lawn with it, see if the current owner has any other attachments like a front loader or snow blower. Any category 0 attachments will fit the 3 point hitch. I have a 2002 Kubota B7500 I bought new, and it has 418 hours on it. I have front loader, mid mount finish 60" mower, a 48" 3pt. tiller, 6' back blade, 60" brush hog mower, and a 60" 3pt. snow blower. I love it, but it is also hydrostatic. The 6K asking for that 670 is decent...really decent. Any included attachments would be a bonus.

    $6K for a 13 year old baby tractor. Seems a bit high to me even for a John Deere. Whats book value on it?

    You've heard from a dealer. (jethro)

    Now go to www.weekendfreedommachines.com/ and ask questions about reliability and serviceability for that model.
    They are geared toward smaller tractors but someone on there will either have or have owned a 600 series.(or steer you to a forum for baby tractors)

    It's GREEN! Ain't that enough? [8D]

    Ya done good, Cartod. Get some turf tires. You'll be amazed how that MFWD works when you get in a tight place. You'll also be able to get most if not all your money back if you ever sell it.

    The hell you will, that's my trailer you're talking about. Besides the truck that can pull the trailer is in ND. The other two trucks either don't have the right trailer hitch or don't have enough power.

    sounds like a good price thats considering what they get for little lawn tractors that you can only mow with.. but i know very little about little tractor prices.

I have a 4' tiller to put on it, It has a place for a small bucket in front, The rear blade will be great on the 400' driveway. This is perfect for my little slice of land with a 200' X 100' feed plot.

    You didn't get hurt with the price that is for sure. You will like the little tractor as long as you don't overwork it!


    Good Luck,
