B20

FireLt · Oct 25, 2005

I am interested in the B21 but do not want to part with $28,000. I have found a few low hour (500 - 750) B20 tractors in the area. Does anyone know if the hydraulics are similar? Do they have simmilar bucket lift, break out force and digging pressure? I cannot find a spec sheet on this tractor. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Greg,
The B20 is a fine tractor and as I recall its capacities were only slightly less than the B21. The biggest difference was that the B21 had slightly more hydraulics.

I am surprised you found one with such low hours. I think the last year of the B20 was 96 and being mostly used by commercial or rental fleet owners I would have expected many more hours. Check and make sure the hour meter works.

Thanks for the info. There is no way the hours are accurate. Today I ended up purchasing a 2005 B21 with 400 hours. It was a lease/rental machine that was well maintained.

Can I ask how much you paid

FireLt, congratulations on the new B21. With 400 hours it is barely broken in. I have a 98 model with 1200 hrs and it has never been in the shop.
