is this worth this?

I could see starting out asking a premium price for it if we were in a good healthy economy, But as it is now there are many folks cannot afford to even keep their tractors and are selling them off at a low low prices for quick cash due to the hurting economy, loss of job, Bills, etc,etc, .... Although who knows! someone who still has money to burn and not knowledgeable about the value of any given tractor may well pay his price, if so good for him:thumbsup: But I think there should be a ( Used Tractor Value ) worth chart available for the tractor buyer and Seller to go by as reference of value, just as the NADA or Kelly's BB for cars and trucks, I've read on the net something similar to this but more of what the individual has paid, not really a real time value,

The problem with this is that those prices are so wrong once things get to a certain age. They allow for continuing depreciation with there depreciation equation, seems there is no bottom or it is very low. My pooint is if NADA valued tractors ours would list for $1200, which would be worse than no list.

IE. My boat has a 1981 johnson 60 hp motor on it. It runs like a sewing machine is smooth, starts easy etc. This motor is worth a quick sale of $600 easy i think. NADA says $200-300. I paid $350 for a foot when mine tore up, i know the foot alone is worth $200.

IE 2 When i bought my K10 6 years ago they were around $3k-3.5k over what people were selling them for at that time in my area. Since then they tanked about $1-1.5k cause of fuel. But anyhow at that time they valued the truck at $1200 or something i think. The motor might sell for $300-500 east Tranny another $300 Tcase (np205) $300-500. New tires and rims on it (33x12.50) an easy $400 (when i bought it i bet they did not have 1k miles on them). Axles $250. See where im getting there prices do not reflect actual sales my truck was selling for around $3k double what i think they listed it at?

This site started a tractor price database a couple of years ago. Search around - it's in here somewhere.

Yeah I think this is where I might had went to try and find reference when time for me to buy another tractor, also to find out what the tractor I had at that time was worth, didn't list a Kubota L-140 series, and all info I find regarding prices for the ym varied up to thousands of dollars, I think was actually folks listing the prices they paid for their tractors, No real retail pricing was advised,
