A new tractor without any cultivator or loader of equivalent horsepower 
and nowhere near the same capabilities would go for slightly more than 
the $10500. I can see that if someone wants to cultivate tightly. I 
would not pay that kind of money because I would be sure I could find a 
lower priced used one. To be honest though, if that tractor would behave 
as a truly new one - i.e. Only needs oil changes, etc to operate for 
thousands of hours, then the "new" tractor would have much higher value 
because of lower maintenance costs.
