The loader alone adds significant value to this package. At $4,500 for a complete 25 HP 4WD tractor with loader, this is strong value for a sub compact machine.
With only 386 hours, this GC1720 has seen significantly less use than many compact tractors of similar age. Most small acreage owners consider anything under 1,000 hours relatively low for a diesel tractor in this class.
