Money can't buy happiness --

No replacement for displacement.

 

The ol GT500 keeps earning its place. I could not imagine doing this job without it

 

Is this a good deal for a tractor?

Nice rig.

I'm just not from the " firm price" crowd.

I'd roll up with 18k and say "this the best I can do."

Not many peeps can thumb off $26k. Most are gonna need to float a note.

It is a securable item, but they seem a bit inflexible.

I'm sure I'm biased, but I just get turned off when sellers submit stipulations.

 

Got caught up on the rest of my annual maintenance today. Fresh spark plug, filters, and grease for the weed eater plus fresh oil and a spark plug for the pressure washer.

 

Yeah, same thoughts from me. I was doing some research and you can get just the tractor for $12-15k so he is way over priced. I have almost given up on trying to find a skid steer and looking at cheaper tractors with a front loader and rear box blade. Ideally it would be nice if I could find something for $10k or less

 

He must be upsidedown on his own note.

 

Nice looking tractor for sure.

Im not so sure they are THAT far off on pricing. The L series is certainly an expensive tractor new and this one seems to have hardly any hours. Attachments also add up very fast so knowing it includes a lot, adds a good value.

I do think the smart move is show up with cash if possible and then talk.

EDIT - For reference I live in the northeast and have a smaller Kubota.

 

so when it comes to Kubota's..... things to remember:

all of us Kubota owners think they are made of gold & 30 years old should still be the same price as new if not more.

Kubo's prices are more driven by region/availability than anything else.

3200 series are the most desireable of all. whether its an L or a B.... they hold value better than any other. small enough for the homeowner, still midrange enough to plow most small fields.

is that a nice set up of a non DEF tractor thats still good as new? appears to be.
can you touch a new one for that? nope & they dont make 3200's anymore....

would i pay that for it? nah.

lets see what its worth=

L3200 non DEF, w/3rd function basically new. (books for about 19K used)
FEL, looks to be a 1050 (5k)
landpride bush hog ( about 1.8K)
pallet forks, clamp ons (400)
grapple (1k)
box blade landpride (1.2k)
yard rake (600)
so by the books its worth about 28.5K (in my area) & then you negotiate down...

IMHO= 24K would be a good deal & 22k would be a steal for it.

 

Good info right there! Thanks

Great post

$10k buys a lot of implements and travel time

 

Glide shift best of both worlds

 

Not bad priced, and no dpf filter. He will get close to the asking price.

 

this is a really good deal on that tractor as a stand alone. but it is 2 years older, has triple the hours & no 3rd function plumbing.. thats why the other tractor is worth 18-19k.

if you dont need any of the other goodies & will never need the 3rd function remotes? then this is a super good deal on a 3200.

 

A lot of good info. Still up in the air if I should reach out to the guy and try and work out a deal. For lifting logs do you think the 3200 with the heavy duty grapple would work well or should I still stick with trying to find a skid steer?

 

The grapple would work great for lifting logs. I do it with pallet forks and chains, I wish I had a 3rd function to run a grapple.

 

Both are 2014s, but the one does have triple the hours. However, both are still low hours for 9-year-old tractors. Mine is an '18 and has about 330 hrs on it.

 

I was just about to say too, triple the hours on 70 hours still isn’t many hours lol
