BAD PURCHASE? Auction Tractor EVALUATION 2011 John Deere 3520

Distinctive for its candid buyer's-remorse framing: the host paid $14,000 at auction for a 2011 JD 3520 with 3,630 hours without inspecting it first, then shares what ten hours of actual use revealed. Covers hydraulic valve fixes, minor body damage, seat condition, PTO and third-function valve confidence, a steering wear concern, and cost-per-hour figures. Best for used-tractor buyers weighing high-hour machines.

An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors and family projects, with no dealership affiliation evident, expect a candid, self-deprecating perspective rather than a sales pitch.
