Is this a good deal: John Deere 4850

Need a tractor asap for this season. Looking at the old JDs and found a 4850 w/ 5000 hrs. for $28k. Includes duals. Is that a good deal? Stock engine/trains without any rebuild. Is it worth getting a tractor this old with this many hrs?

https://imgur.com/a/V6Ewm6v In the process of a complete cab refurb on this JD 4850. The gauge works, but the LCD is very dim. Anyone know of a shop that can repair it? A used replacement is about $800; I’d prefer to keep this one if I can get it repaired for less.
