Did I do good?

Hi,

About 2 weeks ago I found this site and posted a question about what a 14 yr old B7200HST with a belly mower would be worth. Why I asked is that I was considering buying my hubby a new tractor with all the extras he wish he had.

It is a surprise Anniversary gift--we have been together 20 years.

Well after lurking around this site I decided to do it--but am still wondering if I got a good deal.

It is being delivered tomorrow (Friday) a little early but just in time for the 3 day weekend. So he will have lots of time to play

I bought him:

A B2910HSD tractor with loaded turf tires and folding ROPS
A RCK 60-27B 60" Mid-Mower
A LA402FL FEL with 60" bucket
A Brush Hog BX600 Box Blade
A Land Pride 60" Tiller
A H&S UTT716 Tandem axel trailer with electric Brakes

Before the 6% Michigan sales tax and the $4750 I got for the trade in on the old tractor--the package is costing me $22,500.00--plus the dealer said we could rent a back hoe to fit the tractor for little or no cost--if one is available.

Did I do good? or not?

I really can't wait to see his face when he gets home from work tomorrow-- or what our 5 acres will look like after this weekend--LOL

Thanks in advance for any comments

I'll bet there will be at least another 20 after this! Sounds like you did fine to me.

Kandu,I would say you did "good".I would also say that your hubby did VERY GOOD when he married you some twenty years ago!!!

Wow
You did wonderful! Most guys would love to have that present waiting for them..I guess 20 years is worth something. But, with all that equipment, don't look for him to be in the house for a while.I'm sure it will be "play" time around your house!!!

Kandu,
Your price is about right in the middle on prices. I would say you did just fine with your purchase. Congratulations on the twentieth and your husband is one lucky guy!
