Hello All,
As I posted in the new member section last July my wife and I bought a new 1529 hydro with L100 Loader and 60" MMM. Our plans have changed and we are now looking at downsizing to the GC1705 which will be better suited to our current and near term(5-7 year) needs as the 1529 is significant overkill and ties up a lot of cash that could be used for other things on our current path. Neither of the dealers in our area seem interested in given me cash and and a GC1705 for my 1529 so I am going to try to sell it outright.
My questions for you experts are what is a reasonable price for my setup given it is nearly new(less than 5 hours) and the mmm has never been used and what other options would you suggest for selling aside from craigslist? In our area(central MO) the comparable new models of 1726E sells for around $16,900 with loader and the 1734E sells for around $18,500 with loader.
I posted on craigslist at $19,900 and have gotten no nibbles so I reduced to $18,750 which I think is a reasonable price for the package and new condition, but this was my first tractor purchase and thus my first "used" tractor sale and any input you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
