How about Kabota?

I used to own one of these several years ago which I sold to my FIL and he still has it. Great tractors and have a lot of grunt for a small diesel. This must be a G4200 due to the HP stated, as they have the Z430 2 cylinder engine (12hp), but if it's a G5200 then it has a D600 cylinder (14hp). I don't think either came with onboard hydraulics, but I could be wrong. Otherwise someone added it. Mowing decks are near impossible to find if it doesn't have one.
 
I've had three of them and they are about bullet proof. The week points on them are the steering gears and the decks. The steering gears are easy to fix and the decks are unobtainium as Daniel stated as are other attachments. I think I still have an engine here for one.
Yes that's a good price for one in nice condition.

This one isn’t too far from me, was for sale before Christmas but ad was taken down. Thought about going to pick it up but really don’t need any more tractors right now lol
 
Those tractors looks tough. Around here they pop up on craigslist all the time. They usually go quick.
It's still available. I'm also trying to make a deal on this 1974 Ariens GT 18 with a Ruggerini diesel.
I offered him a sailboat in exchange and he replied that he's not interested in sailing but his father is. I sent pics a couple hours ago, waiting to hear back.

 
Used to run one as a kid on a Christmas tree farm mowing between the rows, the one I ran had rear loaded ags, wheel weights, chains, and about 200 lbs of weight on the front end. We ran that thing on terrain you would think is nuts. I don't recall it ever really breaking down other than user created issues.
 
There are parts available for the Kubota. I wonder about the Ruggerini diesel?
They're bulletproof. I had one in a 29' gaffer and it had over 4500hrs on it when I got it. It still ran clean and strong when I sold her.
 
This is my trade offer...
