2wd/4wd, hydrostat or gear, loader or no loader? What are you looking to do with it?

4WD Hydro w/ no loader. Primary use would be for pulling a rake on my driveway and possibly pushing a snowplow (when there isn't enough to warrant the 6' blower on the back of my L4200 - currently the ATVs job).

I've always liked the B8200's, but I cut my teeth on that era of Kubota's. My belief is that those were the best hydro's that Kubota used. They seem to hold up much better than the newer ones in that size machine in my experience. I would guess that you should be able to pick up that machine for under $4000.
