Re: How much is it worth? It\'s getting sold!
Assuming it fits enough models to create demand, ebay might be a good way to go. What you get for it won't compare to the price of one new! I have seen quite a few 60" decks for the BX series go for 900-1000. I don't remember the condition they were in. It's doubtful you will get 1/2 what it costs new.
If you are in need of RFM or other implement, you might check with your Kubota dealer to see about a trade-in. He won't give you more than you could ebay it for, but it would be much easier to make it all happen - rather time consuming to arrange for shipping a mowing deck and who knows the cost to ship that adds to purchaser's price.

Re: How much is it worth? It\'s getting sold!
You may seriously consider tradeing your Turf Special for a B7510 configured for what you want or selling it outright and buying another tractor.
I say this because the Turf Special comes as a special package and would more than likely be worth much more when traded or sold as a complete pkg than piece meal. There are some special modifications done to your tractor that makes it unique over a std B7510, mainly in the MMM, the way the MMM mounts up and the way the depth adj works.
I'm not sure that MMM would work on a std B7510 without modifications.
You may have already checked on this and found out something different than what I'm saying and if so disregard my advice, but in my old brain housing group way of thinking, a Turf Special should be worth more as a pkg as opposed to the tractor sans the MMM.
Good luck

new - about $1600 retail. Its not possible to buy that deck seperatly from the tractor. I'd second that eBay is probably your best best, you can put the standard "24B" decks on on the turf special if you pull off all the deck components.

I just gotta ask....Chris, why are you selling it? From your posts, it seemed you were quite happy with the Turf Special. Do I detect a note of frustration in the thread's title?

Have you considered just hanging onto it? I mean is there was a way to store it indoors? If you ever sold your tractor the new buyer might find it to be a very attractive accessory, because the deck is considered practically brand new.
So, Id keep it all together. I think you'd be better off in the long run.
However, if you must sell it, my guess is that you'll only recover half the cost of a new one...maybe 75%.
good luck!

Neil, why do you say that?
I have two dealers that will sell me that deck no problem. Why would it be any different than the RCK6024B? It’s available from Kubota and a Kubota rep gave me the suggested retail price.
From what I have seen on dealers who have said the deck is not available it was because they had Turf Specials to sell and didn’t want people buying just the deck to put on their machines. This stuff that the tractors are different is not correct.

That seems like a very good price.

If you are looking to buy, that seems like a steal! If you are looking to sell, you might wanna bump it up a few G's.
