If all goes as planned I will pick up a 2006 Buck 650 on Friday morning. I am not sure as to what kind of deal I am getting yet as the farmer I am buying it from has had it for sale for a couple of months with no one showing any real interest. It only has 262 hour on it and looks like it just came off the show room floor. I am looking at less than $4000 I am sure.
I do have some questions as to if there is anything that I need to watch out for on a machine that has seen so little use? I figure an oil/filter change of course but was wondering if anything else requires immediate attention.
I do know that the original owner maintains his equipment meticulously so there should be know major issues. He used the Buck mostly at the county fairs as he has a Gator he uses on the farm. He told me that he just had to have one because it said John Deere on it.
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks, Mike
