There is a local ad for a 2007 Kubota B2320 with the LA304 loader and 60" MMM. The machine has 115 hrs. and the asking price is $12,000. Any comments?

To good to be true?

I don't know that's why I am asking. I did just find a 2006 B7510 (at a John Deere dealer) with the same mower and FEL, but only 37 hrs, with an asking price of $13,000, so I am thinking the $12K for the '07 B2320 is reasonable.

So am I.

Very reasonable. I don't think it's a 2007 though. These came out in '08 if I recall correctly.

Well for two days now I can't get an answer at the phone number listed and no return calls from the messages I have left, so it may not matter how good the deal is!

Finally connected with the seller and I am going to look at this machine tomorrow. (8/15/09) Also found out it is plumbed for a backhoe.

they were just introduced in 08, they are three range not two like the older models and the price you were quoted is a bargin. It is a different deck from the B-7 series.

Well the machine is mine! Plan to pick it up on Tuesday. The machine was purchased new in April of 2008 and has 125 hours on it , mainly used for mowing. The seller also has a BH65 back hoe with barely a scratch on it for sale. Unfortunately that's pushing my CFO's limit way too far. Will post pictures when I get the machine home!

GREAT PURCHASE congratulations. I would say you got a very good deal.

Such an opportunity... get your neighbor to buy the backhoe. Or give it to the CFO for her birthday (way more romantic than a welder).

They are asking $6K for the backhoe. Very close to new price, but the hoe has barely a scratch.

I no sooner got the machine home and unloaded when the sky opened up with a gully washer! The rain has quit, but now it's almost dark, so pictures tomorrow.

I'd still snag it if at all possible. You'll put it to good use. $6K is not a bad price.

Get the back hoe!
Has the CFO every seen the utility of a backhoe?
You need to explain what you can do with it when you get it.
With 36 acres you got plenty of potential use for it.
If nothing else it won't decline in value very quickly if you keep it covered.

And it's so much fun when you get it fully extended.
