Need help in market value

[check 6]

I just took delivery of a Kubota LX 2620 cab tractor as such I’m contemplating selling my BX 2680 I have no clue what to ask for it
It’s two years old has 36 hours on it. Complete with front loader and the following options rearview camera., third function valve, corrugated steel grill guard insert powder coated, quick hitch, skid plate to protect HST fan, step, adjustable stabilizer bars to replace turnbuckles on three pointcanopy with downdraft fan. Always stored inside no scratches, dents or anything. I said I have no idea what the market value is.

Sounds like a well equipped, low hour machine! A starting point would be the original purchase price, and add on the extra features from there. Don't know the original price, but what would that be plus $2k ?

I looked at trading my low hour B2601 for a heavier 25ish HP tractor a while back. The trade in offers were so low it was a no brainer to just keep the little B. I would scour the used market and get a feel for pricing that way.

My guess is you'll be lucky to get what a new one would cost from a private sale, the extra accessories are gonna be hard to recoup, considering a new tractor will have an extra 2 years of warranty, and much better financing conditions ...

Might just hold onto it for a while. It is a nimble little workhorse. It gets into tight places and at my age with physical problems it means a lot less changing of implements I can keep the lightweight implements such as the grapple and the aerator on the BX and use the LX for heavier lifting and let my kids worry about it when I pass besides at 83+ I’m not ready to slow down

Unless you need the money or storage space I wouldn’t sell it
Extremely difficult to to get what it’s worth being so new and very close to the price of new
When I was executor of my father’s estate one of the items was a three year old full size Chevy van with only 5 k on it and nobody was interested in it at market value because it was too close to the price of new. I ended up keeping it and was amazed at how much I used it as a second vehicle.
And if you aren’t ready to slow down like you said then just think about how much more you can do with two tractors than just one!!

Why should I slow down, I enjoy helping people which right now helps me keep my sanity as my fantastic wife of 58 years is suffering from the late stages of Alzheimer’s and I don’t like to watch tv so I stay busy helping others

PS besides two tractors I have a mini excavator and a large mower

I imagine it will be hard to get much more than 70% of the new price unless something has changed in the new model which makes the old model very desirable. Buyers are paying cash and taking risks not associated with buying new and so they want a discount that justifies that cash outlay and risk. I handed $32k over for my tractor which was 4 yrs old with 149 hrs on it. The dealer quoted me $48k for the same new unit including tax and remotes (already installed on the used unit)
If you can afford the change I would do it. (meaning money lost does not adversely affect your financial situation) You only live once and you should have the tractor you want. GL

This conversation is headed in a different direction, but a good way to estimate value of most machinery is tractorhouse.com. You can also search equipmentfacts.com for auction results to get actual sale prices.

I’m in no way suggesting you slow down
I’m impressed with what you’re doing at 85 and would be honored to shake your hand!!
Reading your post says you already took delivery of the new one and didn’t trade anything you had in at the time so you don’t seem to be concerned with the money side of the equation
So like you said, keep it to make your life easier with the attachments it works well with and put it to work doing the thing you like to do and let your eirs worry about what to do with them after you have finished with everything else
Keep it up, the world needs more like you.
