L2800 Price Check

[CountryBoy72]

I'm new to TBN and have been appreciative of all the knowledge freely given by all. I am new to tractors and in need of some advice. I have 3+ acres, all open ground, flat to slightly sloping. I am looking at fair amounts of landscaping in proximity of the home. Have some fencing to put up. Some trenching needs. Also hope to build myself a couple of outbuildings - one of which would be at least 30x40' in size.

Is the L2800 w/ FEL, backhoe and auger to much tractor for these tasks or just about right? I started out looking at the B series and then noticed for a little more I could move up to an L2800. Prelim talks with the dealer for an L2800 ($14.5K). Package would be tractor w/ LA463 FEL, BH75 backhoe and 9" auger just under $25,000 (tax incl.) Is this a fair price?

Your sound knowledge and advice is greatly appreciated

Hello Tim. Thanks for the reply. Forgot to mention, I'm looking at buying new.

Already convinced the Mrs this would be my "mid-life crisis" toy required to accomplish her ever-growing "honey-do" list, lol.

If you can afford it then it is never too much.

Sounds about right if it has the hydrostatic tranny, which would also help you cutting/maneuvering in tight areas around the house.

I was quoted $16.4 for a l2800hst with fel.

Looks like a good price...not sure what the 9" Auger runs these days. I purchased my L2800 HST as listed below for $25,500 out the door. Purchased it new last August in Delaware Ohio. Best part is that my Kubota dealer is great.
Hope this helps...and good luck.

You'll like the L2800. I purchased mine last May, L2800 HST, 5' woods bush hog, FEL, loaded R4's, folding ROPS, about $17.5K including sales tax.
