Price Check Kubota L3010 Price Check

mb1986 · Aug 4, 2014

Hi Everyone,

New to the forum, but I've been using it for research the past few months. I'm looking at a 2002 Kubota L3010 on Craigslist currently priced at $14,500 and comes with: Curtis cab with heat, front mount snow blower, Woods backhoe and loader. Said he'd sell the whole package minus the backhoe for $11,500 which is closer to my price range (tbh I don't "need" the backhoe, but it'd be nice). What really makes me hesitant are the hours, it's sitting just north of 2500. He claims it's never been used as a rental or for commercial use, he just uses it a lot. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but assuming the implements are all working it seems like they'd be worth at least half the cost alone. Does this seems like a decent ballpark price given the high hours?

I'd be using the tractor mostly for snow removal, landscaping around the house and working on some food plots. After a rough Wisconsin winter in our new house and using my ATV w/ a plow all winter, I got the ok from the wife to look into an upgrade. I've been considering a new Kioti with 0% financing (dealer seems to really love them), but am not opposed to something used if I can get a bit more tractor and extras for a comparable price.

Thanks for the help in advance!

We purchased a L3000DT with Kubota loader last year for (1000hrs) $9500 and thought it was a buy.If you don't have a real need for the Back-hoe don't purchase.Is it a sub-frame or three point hitch BH.The three point ones are tough on the tractor.
I wouldnt' worry about the hours as long as the services have been done.I use mine a lot and average 175hrs.a year.Used compacts in good shape hold their value well.

For that package price if it's:
in good condition
4WD
HST
and that's the SIZE tractor you need, I'd recommend taking it all. $3,000 for the backhoe is not bad. How many/what size buckets?

I didn't know they put backhoe's on just the 3 pt. hitch , that's scary .If everything is in good shape that sounds like a pretty good deal to me , just curious about the backhoe hook up .

The backhoe appears to only connect to the 3 point and not the subframe. Only one bucket as well, still waiting to hear back on size. The tractor is about 4 hours away, so I'm going to wait until I hear back about the backhoe before getting into price with the guy.

As I look at the rear end of my B2650 there is no way I would put a backhoe on the 3 pt. hitch only . I guess some people do it and get away with it but not me .
