Can't give much input on the price..Looks kind of like a new one of a similar size runs around 28K, but I'm not sure.
The B is a nice machine, a step up from the BX in terms of size.
You won't be able to mow over trees of any significant size, but you can work on the stumps with the BH. Pond maintenance, depending on the grade, should be a go as well.
You'll like it. My BX is set up in a similar way, except I have a MMM as well. Paid almost 20K in 2004 for mine. So make of that what you will.
They are very durable and have very few issues. DIY maintenance is nice too.

I've had the B21 now for 8 years and its a tough machine - my uses on 6 Ac are building rock walls, doing landscaping, digging out trees/stumps, trenching, hauling and grading. In the winter I have the rear blade for snow.
It has its limits especially stumping in rocky soil, I have learned to get a proper excacator to do that for anything over 12-14" -sure it will dig a 3' stump - it just takes time. I regularly push over 4-5" black birch or pines with no issue with the FEL when I want to clear a path/trail.
It goes though the woods great - its size is easy to manuever around and it has a full steel plate under the tractor preventing limbs and other things catchiing.
Overall for the size it's lifting and digging strength exceed that of larger units, and the frame and overall construction is commercial grade.
Price you have is maybe a tad high - new they were $25K range. As John Thomas points out Barlows has the B26 with 229 hrs for $24,500.. thats a step up from the B21. Then the 2710 HST is a nice unit but slightly different in design than the B21/26 machines.

Would the 500 hours vs 5hrs with new warranty and 0% 42 months financing put them in the same league or close? In my calculation, money wise they are not in the same league and hours of service already done to one also has them in a different league. Just my opinion from the customer side and not the selling competeter side.

I think the B21 is built a lot heavier, John....almost construction grade. Nothing wrong with a B2710, but the B21 was made to take some abuse.
Doesn't sound like you're planning any field work, traildog, but be advised that the small tires on a B will give you a bumpy ride on rough ground. This may not bother you, but I found small bush-hogging jobs with the B7610 to be a trial. Had to go slow to keep from being tossed all over the place. Concluded that field type work is best left to larger machines. If your back is bad, you may agree.
