high dollar 7040 on ebay

You know it looks great but if you are going to ask top dollar you need to put some details in there. No mention of hours or what has been done to it other than what is seen. A fancy paint job is all I can see.

The ad says 8,600 hours. Ya I'd like to see all the records but he says to call and he says all it's life it's had maintenance done at the dealer where it was bought new so I would hope to see the records. Replacing all the window and door seals had to be spendy and time consuming. When it comes to real nice tractors, $27,000 really isn't that much. Really nice 200's go for $10,000 or $12,000. This 7040 looks to be more than twice the tractor of a really nice 200.

That's strange looking at the add on the I-pad I didn't see the description but on the desk top PC I see it all. Strange. Now reading the description the $27K is not all that far out of line.

I never would have guessed the batteries were under there. Neat Idea I m still envious of the clean cab.

I noticed the inj pump. I would rather see it like that than painted over.
I have a 76 model 7040. If I was looking for a tractor that size, I would call the guy on this one. But I would prefer a PD simply because of more speed selection. If this tractor has documentation of the engine rebuild and service records, I would make an offer on it. That is a "buy it now" price, but he also has the "make an offer" option.
I bought a new New Holland 2wd 165 hp tractor in 2010. My 7040 would out pull it any day of the week, no matter if drawbar or pto work. I gave $142,000 for that POS. I would give the asking price for this particular tractor long before buying another new one.
And we have repainted 3 of our 7000 series tractors, nothing like this one, ofcourse, and it costs a lot in labor and materials to do a farm shop repaint. No telling what he has in just the paint job.

I noticed a lot of things not done to original. The emblem in the grille looks dumb( in my opinion. The wheel color and top ruins it for me. Correct police or not. There is a big difference in a repainted and a restored tractor. If your going to restore a tractor, that to me is make it like original. Put the decals in the right place,put the original tach and gauges in it, fix anything that isn't original and put it back to that. Then you have a nice restored tractor. But this is a nice looking repainted tractor.But a lot of people on here , would pay more for a nice low houred original tractor, then this one.

Looks like it is gone. Last listing was 24,000

no idea

Picture

I just looked at the 7040 listing. I saw the $27,500 price. I also saw an ad above it that said "sorry this ad has been discontinued" (or something like that). I clicked on that discontinued ad and behold, it was the same tractor and the price was $22,500.

I guess he couldn't sell the thing so he raised the price. (I've done that before)

DIDN'T KNOW THEY MADE A 7040 P/S I THOUGHT THEY STARTED WITH THE 7045
