Tafe (Massey) Massey Ferguson 1035 DI 2016

Start the engine cold — a machine warmed up before you arrive can hide a hard start. Look for blue or black smoke under load, lift a heavy implement and watch whether the hydraulics creep down, and check pedal free play on the clutch and brakes. Compare the hour meter against the wear on the seat, pedals and steering; a low reading on a visibly worn machine usually means the meter has been changed.

The RC in the seller's own name, and confirmation that no loan is outstanding against the tractor. Ask for service records if the machine was bought from a dealer. Without a clear RC, transferring ownership becomes the buyer's problem.

Yes. Asking prices are set by the sellers themselves, not by Tractor Kharido. Use the free valuation tool for an independent reference range before you make an offer.

A well-maintained diesel tractor commonly runs well past 8,000–10,000 hours, so 3,000 is mid-life rather than old. Condition and service history matter far more than the number — a 2,000-hour machine that was never serviced is a worse buy than a 4,000-hour one that was.

No. Listings are posted by owners and dealers, and the details are theirs. Always inspect the machine in person, or send someone who knows tractors, before paying anything.
