B26 then and now

weldingshop · Feb 12, 2009

I just thought this was of interest, I bought my B26 new in Dec 08, financed half on the 60m 0% thing. Paid $28k out the door. Just reprice the same tractor and same options, and wow......$36K.

I feel like I got the last seat in the life boat.

My dealer always said prices would be going up but jeeez... 8 grand???

There has been some price increases but not that much. You can buy an L39 with options for that money

I bought mine for several thousand less in Dec and I had all the toys. I would say if someone was looking there are a few of the old ones on dealers lots that need sold and could be had for less.

I definitely feel the same way. We purchased our B26 in the end of December of 07. Our salesman worked us a great deal. We ordered our B26 with the thumb, pads, Aux lights, backup alarm, horn, 60" Loader Bucket, 19 and quick disconnect Back Hoe Bucket for $27,191.47 with 36 month zero financing. We literally purchased the cart before the bull. Our home build was delayed waiting on land easements but we are in the thick of it now. It goes to show you timing is everything!

I would also like to add the B26 is more than capable and I have no regrets about buying enough machine.

Yeah, I'm stunned at what this little machine can do. If it was stronger it would've had to be big and that wouldn't of worked in some of my tight spots. I only regret not doing it sooner. Defently glad not later.

We have put several hrs on our B26 and have nothing but praise for the power for its size. After seeing what the other none tlb tractors cost that are equiped near the same the B26 seems like a great machine for the price. I just wish the weather would improve so we could work it a little more. If anyone is on the fence about weather this tractor is worth the money or not, you won't be after using it.
