Hello, Thanks in advance to all who take their time to help out the new folks.
I am very seriously considering the Kubota B2710. My local dealer has a 99 rental return with 84 hours and the kubota loader for $15,750. However, a dealer 3 hours drive away has a new one with loader for $16,073. That dealer says his rental returns, which he will have back this September will sell for $3500 to $4000 below the cost of a new one -- thus about $12,000 to 12,500. My local dealer says "No way, they're crazy, they're losing money" ... etc. (I was hoping shopping for a tractor would be different than car shopping...)
Just wondering what other people's experience is. What is a good deal on a rental return and what should I expect to dish out for a new one?
Thanks in advance,
Dave.
