Buying Advice Kubota BX25D

[carbonacreage]

Hi
Wanted to for some general advice regards purchasing used v new
Thinking off buying a Kubota BX25D for using around our acreage and doing a few jobs i have planned. Was going to hire one for as and when required
but figured this could easily work out more expensive in the long run as i have a lot of tasks planned for it.
Now I've seen a few used machines for sale not too far from where we are located the ones i took interest in vary in age between 2011 - 2013 and I also obtained pricing on a brand new BX25D from my local dealer. Compared to used machines a new one would run me anywhere from $2000-$6000 difference when comparing it to the used models i have seen, benefits of some of the used ones is they may come with one or two extra attachments but obviously would come come with little or no warranty compared to the new one. So basically would be interested what route others have taken on there purchase obviously budget plays a part but the way i look at it either used or new a sizeable amount of money.

Welcome!

When I was shopping I found the pickings slim...

As much as I didn't want to go new... I did and no regrets.

Normally, I would expect a significant discount going used and simply was not finding it.

Prices do vary... at least here. By shopping I was able to buy at a significant savings.

We are located near Airdrie Alberta Canada
Dealer price on new BX25D is $20700 all in
Compared with several used machines 2011-2013 around $14k - $18k for these used ones.

Understand some KUBOTA dealers are offered 5 yr warranty in October and 0% - 60 months

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada price for new BX25D is 19,700 plus 13% HST. Used are scarce.

Looks like its about the same pricing on new machine across the country
Like i say my local Kubota dealer offered me a new BX25D for $20700 includes Alberta tax (5%)
Just need to clarify with them if this deal is available as part of the kubota 0% - 60 months plus 5yrs warranty promo they are doing currently.
From what i can see available most used Bx25D's certainly seem to hold there money noticed a few used 2011's advertised at $17k-$18k so compared to new pricing not much of a drop provided of course they sell at this price.

I looked hard and long for a used Kubota, everything I found was priced really high! Wasn't worth buying used over new in most cases, they just hold their value too well, at least around here...

Very true new v old pricing is tight

I had similar initial thoughts but after a quick review of online offerings I took the new route with a BX25d at 17300 w/12 bucket and 3pt. I actually saw several used bx25's w/200 hrs for 1-2k less than my quote. New was an easy decision in Bama. It is comforting to know they hold value this well.

I bought used and have no regrets. I use it 100hrs per year and no issues other than routine maintenance.
You have to look close and try it out fully before you buy
