Seriously, nothing seems to be in that range other much larger tractors from 30 years ago. </div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div id="sig11221025"><div>-- <br></div><div> Henry Miller<br></div><div> <a href="mailto:hank@millerfarm.com">hank@millerfarm.com</a><br></div><div><br></div></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div>On Tue, Jun 23, 2020, at 21:04, Henry Miller wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt" style=""><div style="font-family:Arial;">Welcome to the crazy world of used tractors where appeantly people exist who don't value the full warranty, or 0% financing as worth anything at all. Until the machine is 10 years old (or a lot of hours) you are better off buying financing a new tractor, putting the cash into savings bonds and maxing minimum payments and collecting the interest from the bonds. <br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">I don't know who buys used tractors. My guess is that most people don't sell their tractors and so the used market is so small it doesn't use up the demand from people who hate dealers but are willing to buy a tractor at full price. Just a guess though. <br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">Don't buy anything without doing a test drive at several different dealers. You might find that you hate the controls of that one. Or better yet buy a green tractor which feeds into my bonus if you catch my drift. <br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div id="qt-sig11221025"><div>-- <br></div><div> Henry Miller<br></div><div> <a href="mailto:hank@millerfarm.com">hank@millerfarm.com</a><br></div><div><br></div></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div>On Tue, Jun 23, 2020, at 18:31, Jim Thomson wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt-qt" style=""><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(51, 51, 51);">My wife came back from her hairdresser today with pictures of a Kubota B2301 for sale. It has a loader, ballast box and turf tires. One headlight is cracked and the hour meter reads 150 hours. The seller wants $15K which is the cost for a new machine. What is a good price for this if everything checks out? Given my need for good deals I was thinking in the $9k range. BTW, my wife likes this as she does all the lawn mowing and landscaping. She enjoys cutting the grass, mulch spreading and gardening. <br></div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(51, 51, 51);"><br></div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(51, 51, 51);"><br></div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(51, 51, 51);"><br></div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(51, 51, 51);">Jim Thomson <br></div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(51, 51, 51);">Rehoboth,MA <br></div><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div>AT mailing list<br></div><div><a href="mailto:AT@lists.antique-tractor.com">AT@lists.antique-tractor.com</a><br></div><div><a href="http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com">http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com</a><br></div><div><br></div></blockquote><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div>AT mailing list<br></div><div><a href="mailto:AT@lists.antique-tractor.com">AT@lists.antique-tractor.com</a><br></div><div><a href="http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com">http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com</a><br></div><div><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
