Looks good. Did it come with the hoe attachment.

What's the story of the tractor?

I bought it at a recent auction where I also bought the backhoe. It's kind of a lightweight backhoe but will work for most of my jobs around the farm. I gave $6,600 for the tractor which has been well cared for. It has the separate hydraulic system with two remotes and the 248 Perkins. I gave $1950 for the three-point hoe which has its own pump run off the PTO. I am happy with the price as I have learned that it is better to pay a little more for a well-cared for tractor then seek a low price. I have two MF 65s with the 203 Perkins: one utility with a loader and a high arch and a gas 202 Work Bull with a loader. I also have a couple of MF 50s as project tractors. I was looking at Backhoes and everything in my price range was wore out. This way I get a tractor I can use to mow hay and a hoe which I can use on other tractors. I have a 2 JD 4020s a diesel and a gas plus a 3020 diesel. The 275 will mean that the gas 4020 will never see haybine duty again.

Sounds to me like a pretty good deal all the way around. Also you can never have to many tractors.
