Must have been an old beater.

Decent ones I looked up are 100-120 grand

Sounds like a good idea for a new comic book superhero

Yup, one for $50K might or might not be running.

All depends on age and wear and how it was taken care of. Last week I spotted a CAT 416 backhoe sitting that looked like it had not been moved in several years. I found and contacted the owner and he told me it had a busted hydraulic line and he thought the motor was stuck. I went and took a closer look and noticed it only had 5700 hours on it, all the pins were well lubed and very little wear on the buckets. I offered him $1500, he wanted $2K, we split the difference at 1750. I put 2 new batteries in it and it popped right off, fixed the hydraulic line and drove off with it. Market for that 1986 machine is 15-18K. Gonna do a little work around the house first and then sell it this spring.https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=2241639352671295&set=pcb.2241639519337945&__cft__[0]=AZVM4QN9cYqf6xD9Eg5lbkvZEGMZ4FUQOqd4cURSdrPnDxXAwaUdJZKPp5G51M9deh5x4GtT_9YErkwetxeUDhiOhXdu1trL0Ggc1CWdkCoHfSs_S-QiI0-I_SttWT7mPItO93iCadEfVpvILi32LiDMxHVFss6YcxKFX86xz7qeAA&__tn__=*bH-R

Yes 50K these days just gets you into something above the lawn mower stage. That is counting some implements.

“Must have been an old beater.”

Most likely because if it was a newer model, John Deere could disable it remotely.
