Know the Specs

Before you actually spend time inspecting a used John Deere tractor, make sure its specs fit your needs. You already know that there are different types of models for different kinds of agriculture needs. Make sure you’re happy with the overall features of the unit you’re considering. Also, ensure that your tractor has the right amount of hydraulic output to handle the attachments that you’ll be using.  

Perform an Inspection

Begin your inspection by taking a close look at the used tractor. You want to see if there are any obvious signs of damage that go beyond scraped paint and minor dings. Walk around the machine and look at the frame. There shouldn’t be any big dents, cracks, missing components, leaks, or other signs of damage.

Check the Service History

Make sure you verify the serial number of the used John Deere tractor you’re interested in to find out the year, make, and model. Ask for the documents and maintenance records so you can see how well it was maintained by the previous owners. No part should have required extensive care as that can signal a recurring problem with the tractor.
