My first tractor, 20 years ago, was a clean used B8200- couldn't tell you when it was manufactured. Bush Hog loader. Gear drive, no PS. I was lucky in finding a Kubota PS aftermarket kit, which made it SOOoo much more useful. I added lights, tooth bar, and tire chains. I sold it about 10 years later, with about 800 hours, for about what I had in it, $7500 or so. If it is still in decent condition, I would consider it still well worth $7500. They were solidly built, work horse little tractors. Kubota built their reputation with such tractors. I never had the first problem with that B8200, and would expect it continued like that, given regular maintenance.
