2004 L2800 value

[clovergamecock]

I have someone wanting to by my 2004 L2800 4wd with FEL and I need to get an idea of a fair price. It has 345 hours on it and will come with:

Bush Hog 600sql
Woods box blade
Leinback Post hole digger

The tires are AG with plenty of life left. Overall the tractor is in good condition with what I would consider normal wear and tear for a 14 year old tractor with low hours.

Suggested price???

Thanks
Wade

BIG question, HST or Gear??? Would love to hear what it does sell for... If it's HST, add a grand to LD1's numbers.

Its a gear and will need a clutch. I have it listed now at $10k firm or $11.5k if I have a clutch put in it. Tractor has 391 hours on it. It will also need one headlight lens. I have had a good bit of interest since I posted it on CL Saturday. Am I priced too low\high or just right?

Thanks
Wade

Now you have acknowledged problems. Problems should have been part of Post #1.

The number of people who can manage a clutch/gear transmission these days is limited. The repair required will amplify buyer concern over operating a clutch/gear tractor.

I think you will be fortunate if you collect $10,000 with problems.
Few potential buyers solicited via CL are willing to pay the CL asking price.

You will likely realize more revenue selling the tractor and good quality implements separately.

Anyone needing only 1/3 or 2/3 of your implements will value the residual(s) at zero.

I'm going to schedule an appointment this week to have the clutch replaced. It is going to be roughly $1200. Once I do that I will raise the asking price up to try and recoup some of the money. I went ahead and listed it just to see what kind of interest I would get but made sure to put in the ad that it will need a clutch and posted it at a price with me having the clutch fixed and with me not having the clutch fixed. I have had some interest so far.

Thanks

I would have just split the tractor and fixed the clutch myself. The cost of the clutch is only $150 or so aftermarket, and a new clutch is not a big job.

Like most things, these jobs seem intimidating until you actually get down and start working on the tractor. Kubota's are VERY simple machines and are easy to work on. Things I thought would take hours to fix came right apart, and went right back together, not to mentioning teh great help you would get on here.

The term "Splitting" is what scares me. How do you support 2 sides if the tractor is split? It seems this would be difficult for one person in a home garage with no hoist or lift. I have replaced several clutches in a car so I'm sure the actual replacement is the same. Its the work getting to it that scares me.

That sounds about right for springtime pricing. Take a look on Tractorhouse for other prices. Get Broken Track to fix your clutch.
