B2301HSD TLB

[tums20]

See a near new 2301 with LA434 loader and the backhoe (with thumb), also comes with a box scraper
Ad says only 75 hours so pretty much brand new, and still has warranty

A new one on Kubota.com is 25ish before tax
They are asking 19.5k

Are these good tractors? Looking to upgrade an old B6100 and really want a backhoe for numerous projects on the land. Hate dropping this much cash since also looking news

Just thoughts please on the tractor and backhoe.

Aso looking at MF GC1710 TLB or BX23S partly due to economics and partly due to size


Thanks

I would talk to a dealer for new pricing before pulling the trigger on the used one

Most dealers are in the range of 10%-15% off kubota msrp. In my case on my new 2650 they were over 20% off.
Then you get a new one with the 0% financing if your not paying cash. Along with a 300$ rebate.

Just something to think about

Thank you. Hitting up a kubota dealer today. Not a big fan of the one here but don't want to drive an hour just to test drive. One thing is being in Ca, dealer can't escape 10% ish sales tax.

The tractors themselves good? Backhoe a good unit?

I have never ran a 2301.

IMO if you are not wanting a MMM I would look at a 2650. Bigger and more capable machine of the B series. Of course it is more money but not to much.

No need for the mmm. Loader bh tiller scraper are the main uses. My 19hp old B6100 is almost perfect in size for the yard. 2 acres flat. Neighbors 30 hp is just bigger than i want. If i need it for a job i can borrow it.

I understand, the 50 series just offers a stronger loader and backhoe for not
Much for money. Let us know what you find out

My B2601 with loaded tiers, ballast and 2 1/2" rear wheel spacers does everything I want from mowing, moving dirt to loading logs with a grapple. No backhoe as I have an excavator.
