B9200 or B2150

[mwagoner]

I noticed today in my local equipment trader someone has both the B9200 and B2150 for sale. Each for $3900. The B2150 is a hydrostat, the B9200 needs a clutch. No mowing deck on either one, do they have 3 pt and rear PTO? I think I would rather have a rear mowing device anyway. I am realitively new to TBN and tractoring and have never seen either of these tractors. Does anyone have a picture?
I did a search and didn't find any photos.
Thanks,

Matt

The two tractors are the same except for the sheetmetal. The B2150 would be my choice since it is the newer of the two and is a hydrostat. Both are very good machines. Sorry I don't have pictures for you.

I have a B2150DT (gear drive, clutch) and I love it. I paid $8000 for it with a Kubota FEL and 5' Farm King finish mower. It had 635 hrs on it. I felt I got good deal. $3900 sounds real good.

I have a B9200DT (4wd) that I have owned for 3 years. I use it for bush hoging and it has been a great little tractor. I have just under 300 hours on my tractor and would not sell it for $3900, so sounds like it may be a good price depending on the price of the clutch repair.

I just dropped mine off for a new clutch. The dealer said $700. Hope his correct. I like my B9200.

I just dropped mine off for a new clutch. The dealer said $700. Hope he's correct on the diagnosis and the cost. I like my B9200 and bought it two months ago used, at $5,500 with 420 hours.

$700 sounds cheap to me. I don't think I can do it for less than $900.

Thanks for the info everyone.
I went back to the Trader and couldn't find them anymore.
I guess someone grabbed them up at that price.
Thanks again.

Note that you can get what I believe to be the same trader magazine online at www.traderonline.com which is subdivided up into autos, trucks, Heavy Equipment (where most of the tractors are) etc. You can search the entire US, certain regions, or state-by-state using various key words (such as B2150 or Kubota). Some of these ads give pictures of the tractors which may be helpful. Note that just the key word Kubota by itself usually returns more than the limit of 200 ads due to all of the Kubota engines advertised for Bobcats, etc.

This is a good way to see how a given tractor price varies throughout the country and how the price that you may be considering compares with similiar tractors in other locations.
