Is this a good deal? I have 20 acres and will mainly use to mow.

Nice full featured JD compact built by Yanmar in Japan - looks to be well cared for. Solid tractors but despite the disclaimer 2K hours is getting up there which is why it's priced at $3600. If all you need is a mower for 20 acres of turf get a good used commercial zero-turn. If you need a tractor to bush hog pasture and sundry other chores that is a reasonable deal. I just saw one locally with ~850 hours for something around $6K.

Thanks for the response but this was a spam ad. I hate craigslist spammers.

Well that's not surprising actually - even with 2K hours the JD crowd thinks very highly of their machinery. When I saw the one I mentioned (also CL) the thought crossed my mind that it might not be legit.
