Buying Advice 2010 Kubota b3030

I'm considering buying a b3030 with loader, cab & 124 hours. Is that a good deal?

Price?

Don't see a price. Other than that, I have a 2005 B3030 with 537 hours on it now. It is the perfect tractor for my needs. Just make sure it will do everything you want to do with it. Better to have a machine that will do more than you want it to than one that is too small and lacks the size you need to get the work done efficiently. Good luck.

Price?

Sorry $20,900

That sounds pretty good to me. In 2005 I paid $20,000 otd for mine with a loader, 60" mmm and 5 foot RB without a cab. Considering that a new a B3350 CAB model is over 30g I don't think you can go wrong. I have NEVER wished my B3030 had more power for anything including running a 5' brush hog. I supose there are times when more power in that size frame of a tractor would be nice, but I haven't found it yet.

That price sounds good to me. I just looked at a leftover B3000 @ the local dealer..... tractor / loader was 27,200 and the B3000 doesn't have all the B3030 deluxe options.

Is the b3030 cab model going have trouble running the AC unit & the brush hog at the same time?

I never had an issue. I ran a five footer on mine. I've never noticed a power difference between A/C on and A/C off.

Sounds high to me. I was asking less than that last year for a 2009 B3030 HSDCC/LA403 loader and couldn't get anyone to bite. Had almost exactly the hours of the machine you're considering. New it was $24,800. I don't recall if that figure included tax or not. The entire amount of my purchase wasn't taxed because I had a 2004 JD 790 that I traded.
But that might just be this area of the country. Every other damned thing goes high in the used market, but I had no luck getting rid of this thing. Traded it to a dealer in a neighboring state for some other equipment and cash.
But I've been wrong before. Maybe market conditions have changed. With the looming Tier IV stuff maybe these lightly used units have appreciated in value.

How many hours do you now have on the 3030?
