Default 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 cummins 4x4

hey, guys im new to this forum. i want an opinion from some other dodge guys on a truck im looking at. this will be my first vehicle. i no u guys will prob tell me to get a little truckor watever for my first truck but i live on a farm and this would by usefull in pulling 50 ton grain wagons and stuff like that. but its a decent looking truck and has new wear items on the front end. the only thing im iffy on it that it has 359000kms on it. i no diesels fairly well and no they hav the capability of reaching 1,000,000 kms if cared for properly. heres the link on the truck: http://barrie.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehic...AdIdZ101163275 id appreciate it if some one could give me some good feedback on it.

looks like a good work truck
dont worry about the mileage on the cummins, if taken care of they'll last for ever
yea the largest wagon we pull is like prolly no more than 10 tons, if that but i don't pull it with my 5.2 [when its loaded] empty i cant even feel it
