L2850, too many hours?

[oldhouseman]

My first posting.
Have opportunity to purchase a Kubota L2850, 4x4, FEL, Backhoe & Brush Hog. This machine has 2,250 hours on it. I'm told that it has been well maintained and has had only one owner, (Gun Club).
Asking price is $7500. I have not yet seen this tractor. I have been holding out until I could afford a new tractor (Brand YTBD). I figure I need at least 30 hp for my use (See my profile). My question; is this a good price? With the attachments it seems tempting, but I don't know about all those hours.
Thanks in advance for any guidance. I've been reading you guys for some time and I'm really impressed.

I'm up in Union and there are a bunch on here who live in Woodstock. Just curious is this a private sale or a local dealer?

That's not a lot of hours, as long as it has been serviced regularly. Heck, a new backhoe for my 30 hp Kubota would cost me $6k, so to me, that sure sounds like a good price.

Welcome to TBN!

It would be nice if they had service records to look at. But that really isn't that many hours as long as it has been maintained. We've got old Ford's at work with 8,000+ hrs. The price seems pretty good to... considering it has a FEL and BH.

Good luck!

It is a Private sale through a person who has little knowledge of tractors(Not that I have any). I still have to go look at it. I know the person handling the sale and have no reason to believe he would intentionally mislead me.
