That price sounds like a good deal, dad bought his 4890 a little over a year ago for 9000. Tires are poor on it and it came with duals, but we just use it to grind hay with. From what i found on these in the arcives is the head seems to be the weak spot. Dads has leaked some anti freeze since he got it, but not much, and he has put around 300 hours on it this past year. His has around 7500 hours and was majored around 4200 hours. It starts well when its cold, there is a button on the side of the injection pump you push before you start it. It also has no engine oil filters except a small one for the turbo, but you must clean the oil spinner on the left side of the engine every 50 hours and should change oil around 50- 60 hours. The tractor pulls well burns clean and has otherwise been a good machine. If it starts good and does not leak anti freeze around the head you should be good to go.
