1991 Kubota B20

[josolar]

Ive got a 1991 Kubota b20 TLB 800 hrs. Homeowner used, dealer maintained, and stored indoors. one leaky hose needs to be replaced and the backhoe left/right swing is temperamental. The backhoe needs to be switched to manual control to avoid the auto return which causes the problem.

What is a fair asking price?

Only 800hrs on a '91 machine? Seems kind of low but I guess it's possible. Based on your description and the low hours, means it will work for you for a long time. My guess on price would be $8000-10,000. Take a look at the same model for sale on KUBOTA B20, Used KUBOTA B20, KUBOTA B20 For Sale At TractorHouse.com - Page 1.

I am the 2nd owner. Homeowner used by both owners. I bought it w/ 500 hours 4 years ago. now 800 hrs. 8k is lower then the trade in value the dealer gave me. I was thinking $12.5k

Anyone else have an issue with the swing mode on the bt650 backhoe?

All hydraulics and controls work, except the left/right swing randomly cuts out. Restarting the engine usually resets the backhoe and the swing will work again. Sometimes it works for hours with no issues, other times it cuts out every 5 mins.

I've read a few post about the auto return feature being the issue. I've also heard that switching the backhoe to a manual solenoid can fix it. Any input?
