You said it Rainbow6! Not only would it be a great tractor for what I need... I'd love to have it even if I didn't need it! It's in great shape for an '84. I cranked it up, drove it around, used everything on it and didn't have any complaints. Everything works, nothing leaks, tires are good, fluids were clean. I didn't get to see the finish mower and blade but like I said in an earlier post, the mower has new blades and bearings and the blade is supposed to look like new.

Thanks for the reply.

Then it lists the HP wrong. Even the plate on the tractor says it has 14 hp....dont know why this would say it only has 12. I find that odd.

 

[DmansPadge]

Thanks Andrew. Everything I've seen and read (which has been a lot the last few days) also lists it at 14hp.

I think that the discounted ROPS is a CYA approach. It might give them some protection in a lawsuit if they have offered an attractive price and "you" didn't think to protect yourself. I paid about $180 for mine but that was about 10 yrs ago.

I believe that a ROPS is always a good idea.

A new thought. Get the serial number as that is what defines the year model and not the sale date.

Also, if you are lucky enough to buy it, I have the manuals for it. Get in touch and we will work out a deal.

There is an option to search by serial # on the blue book page. Maybe that will reveal a bit more info. I remember seeing these little tractors for sale in the mountain town of Boone NC when they first came out. They were cool then and even more so now!

 

[DmansPadge]

I just tried to call the guy to get the serial number but I didn't get an answer. I'll try to call him again tomorrow.

Thanks

"Then it lists the HP wrong. Even the plate on the tractor says it has 14 hp....dont know why this would say it only has 12. I find that odd. "

Not necessarily odd. It could be listing PTO Horsepower on the site and other's you've read (including on the plate) are gross engine horsepower.

The other possibility is how the horsepower is rated...is it SAE or the Japanese rating (I think that's JIS horsepower).

machinerylink is often way off of reality. The paper blue books are often several thousand dollars different then that site. I don't know where they get their data, but don't consider it gospel.

I get B6100's all the time, they are very popular around here. If you have a good clean gear drive with a blade & mower I'd say $3000-3500 is fair. If it has an HST it would bring upwards of 5,000.

 

[Rainbow6]

As you say, they are very popular around your area. Plus you sell them, so its only natural that you would tell someone they are worth much more. I get the same talk looking at used cars in my area when I quote a blue book price. Buying from an individual would be different though, because they have no markup. Anyway, not trying to be antagonistic here.
Just adding my two cents worth. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

<font color="#666666"> </font> Thats what I figured. Not a bad deal if they will still sell them cheap.

BTW, the guy has the original owners and service manuals for the tractor.

According to the Kubota Workshop Tractor manual for the b5200 . b6200 . b7200 . b6200hst . b7200hst for the B6200

Maximum P.T.O power: 9.3 kW (12.5 hp) *
Engine gross H.P. 11.2 kW(15 HP)*

* - Manufacture's Estimate

I bought a b7200hst for 8000 with fel, box and tiller. It is hydro and 4wd. The 5000 estimated retail on the 6200 does not see that far off.

Kubota DOES have a ROPS retrofit program for that tractor. They basically GIVE you the ROPS and you pay the dealer to install it (100-150 dollars I think). I am pretty sure I read you MUST have the dealer install it. They are not making any money on the program, just covering their backsides. I would strongly recommend you take them up on the deal.

They are nice little tractors. Rugged little workhorses. Just realize. They are NOT the CUTs you see people talking about today. They don't have a stereo or cup holder. You couldn't hear a stereo over them. Hearing protection is required to operate. Cup holder would be useless because of the vibration. Climb abord, buckle up and hold on for dear life. These are little tractors from back when tractors were tools.

I love mine even though I have long since finished the jobs I bought it for. I should sell it instead of keeping it around to move firewood twice a year. Just that ... I LIKE it /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
