How much is my TC30 worth ?

Mrwurm · Sep 18, 2007

Hello folks, pretty soon I'll be putting my trusty New Holland TC30 Hydro up for sale. I looked at some listings for used TC30's here:
NEW HOLLAND TC30 For Sale at TractorHouse.com

Any thoughts as to how much I should ask for it. I have'nt priced a used tractor in about 5 years. I paid about $16,000 for mine when it was new in 2002. Its a TC30 Hydrostatic drive, 4wd, turf tires, 7308 loader. 120 hours. (yep, only 120 hours)

Any thoughts are welcome and appreciated.

I think you will be surprised how much you can get for it. I just sold a 15 year old Ford 1320 for 9k. 400 hrs . It almost the same as the TC 30 but 20 hp HST though and a loader. I had it on tractor net for 11,5 no calls.
A local net for 10,5 one or two calls no interest. Put it down at the end of my driveway and the phone started ringing off the wall. 9k is about what I had in it. Watch ebay as well although who knows with that. I see a lot of minimums not met.I know another guy who just sold a JD TLB for 14k on ebay. He had 9k in it. So look around for a while and price it high. Looks like 14k to me

Ok, here is another question: I have a 702C front dozer blade for this tractor. I used it in the winter for snow plowing. Its about a $2,200 item when purchased new. It fits a variety of tractors including the older 1720, and also the TC25, TC29, TC33. It probably fits a few more models as well.

Should I include this in the sale of my tractor and price it accordingly or should I sell it separately ?

hmmm I sold my machine with a finish mower 60" that came with it. I was willing to knock off 1k if someone did not want it but no one suggested.
So figuire $1400 for the snow blade. How badly do you need the $1400 and how soon do you need it. It has a loader so it is ready to work,
DO you have a quick attach plate on the loader. If the blade is also QA then it is a better package.
I guess leave it in the package with the though of knocking off XX if someone does not want it. Negiotiating position. Unless you want it. But if you are trading up QA is the way to go. IF the blade does not have it it's more problimatical. Probably gave you no help at all.

You should sell it separately. Cheap. To me, for example!

Are you replacing it? I had a 2003 TC30, Hydro, R4's, Woods 1009 Loaded and canopy with 515 hours that I listed for $12,900, in Washington State. I had lot's of activity, and offers. After dealing with offers falling through, I decided to check with the dealer. He gave me $13,000 for it on a trade in, and with the tax savings it was worth $14,100. And his price on the new tractor was as competitive as the other quotes that I received. It may be worth checking if you are buying a new tractor. This time of year may not be the best time to sell, as there are lot's of TC30 lease returns that have full warranty and 0% financing. Great machine though, they are in demand and if you price it right, you should not have any trouble selling it.
