Under 20k and 4x4 with loader. https://bham.craigslist.org/grd/d/john-deerex4-loader/6724164678.html

Question is why the front tires were replaced that's original rears but fairly new fronts with only 910hrs. That also the advantage series tractors from john deere like the "e" series is now compared to the "m" series. I've got original tires on my 5320 4x4 which is going to be the same year range as that one and has 1090 hrs on it


My guess would be driving on pavement a lot. That will wear out front tires in a hurry.
