Price Check B2410 price and question

[bostonboy]

I went to a local dealer in northern Ohio and got a price for a B2410HSD with a 60" mower for $13,400. I also noticed that in the brochure he gave me, there was a B2410HSDB. My questions are - He did not give me a price for a FEL -- so my questions are 1)How much more would a FEL cost? And 2) What does the B stand for in HSDB?
I am new ( about 2 weeks now in the forums ), but I think I have made up my mind that I am going Orange - much to the chagrin of all the Deere farmers around here.

Welcome!

The HSDB is the model number for the "Bi-speed" option. It's briefly explained in the 2410 section of the brochure you got. Around here (upstate NY) you can expect to pay about $3400 for the LA352 loader. FWIW, the prices here seem to be higher than others I've seen posted in this forum.

Take Care- Dave

I don't know about the prices in your area, but when I bought my 1999 B2710, the dealer figured $12,600 for the tractor and $2,900 for the LA401 loader.

I live in central Maryland and just bought a used B2400 HSD with 198 hours for $10,000, plus a new LA352 FEL for $2650, and a new 60" mid-mount mower for $2,100. The FEL and mower are original Kubota equipment and the price included mounting. The regular price for the FEL was $2,900, but the dealer gave a discount since I was buying all three items. I also got a 1-year warranty on the used tractor (same items covered as a new B2410, except for the reduced one-year warranty period). I guess this isn't too bad for a used tractor - JACK

Jack,

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me, congratulations and welcome toTBN. Have you got the tractor home yet? I'm waiting on a 60 in midmount for my B7500. Grass is growing pretty good here, much longer and I'll need a side sickle. Lots of stuff to add to your profile. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

AirborneEngineer… Welcome to TBN and Kubota ownership, and hope both are a pleasurable and long lasting experience!

You are not isolated! I myself reside in Frederick County. On the other side of the Potomac, we have paccorti (Peter from Leesburg, VA area) and WVBill (who gets the pleasure of commuting /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif into DC each day from WVA).

Sounds like you did well Jack on your purchase.
Wondering whats the tax rate in your state toward your Kubota and attachments.

Don't forget to edit your profile now that your a Kubota owner. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Welcome! I too am a new (used) Kubota owner in the central Maryland area. Picked up a 1 year old B7300 (less than 200 hrs) last fall with FEL, 60" Mid mower, tire chains, and box blade for under 11K. Loved it in the snow. Can't wait for the grass!!!

 

[WVBill]

Welcome to the community, Jack.

Sounds like a nice set up you got - and a good deal too! Congratulations.

Roy: I dumped my daily commute into DC a couple of weeks ago. Took another job in Reston. More pay, shorter commute (even had time to do some tractoring before dark last night) AND I can still find time to squeeze in a little TBN during the workday. Life is good!

WVBill... That's great, a double-win, more money, less hassles /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif! I see from the responses that Peter can add to his 'one day maybe a tri-state tractor party list', Steve (skent).

In the Washington Post, a while back, they mentioned that per-capita, our region is the most internet-connected in the US (percentage of households wired). So, a number of us from the region should be statistically expected. Or… is it we get bored easier and start surfing /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif. (OK… now the comments. Like, "Of course, Roy, you guys live around DC, and everyone knows there is no real productive work coming out of there." /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif.

Well you have to wonder how any work could get done with all that hot air... /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

GlueGuy... Maybe if I captured the hot air, used it turn some turbines connected to generators, and send the electricity over to you Californians, then DC would actually export something productive for a change /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif.

That may be unconstitutional /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Look out! I'm on a roll!!!! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

GlueGuy... Looks like you found out our secret motto: 'Tis far better to take then to give'. Talking about us taking, paid those Federal Taxes yet? If you don't, we all might have to go out and find real jobs! Please don't make us suffer like that.

THOMAS:

Maryland's sales tax is 5%; however, tax was waived on my purchase, since the tractor is used for a horse farm operation. All I had to do was fill out an agriculture tax exemption form supplied by the dealer (just gotta make sure you're a legitimate farm operation, though). I've had my rig for two weeks now and got to give it a good workout last weekend moving my manure pit around, relocating some rock piles, dragging the riding ring, and pulling multi-flora roses out of my fenceline. I also bought a grader box at auction last weekend and will pick-up a new rear mount fertilizer spinner spreader this weekend. Will get to try the mower in a few more weeks, once the grass (and weeds) start growing. Now that I've spent all my money, I'll have to start using my new toys! The HST is fantastic... I looked real hard at a lot of other tractors (new & used) before I stumbled onto this deal, and I'm glad I didn't rush into anything. I initially wanted to buy an older (and cheaper) tractor, and spent several weeks searching numerous want ads, etc., then I found two almost new tractors at a local dealer (B7500 GT and B2400 HSD). I tried out the B7500 w/ Gear Transmission (at a much better price), but am really glad I went with the larger B2400 and especially the HST. It's so easy to move around while operating the loader. I also like the live continuous PTO, which allows the mower to keep moving while changing speed or direction. After a few minutes on the B7500 GT, I didn't like the mower stopping everytime I engaged the clutch, so I highly recommend going hydrostatic. - JACK p.s. This is a GREAT website !!! It really helped me through several agonizing weeks while I went through my bout with "New Tractor Fever." Thanks for all you folks out there... your advice is invaluable.
