Price Check Pricing a JD 4610 w/backhoe

[xb90]

I'm considering purchase of a used 2004 John Deere 4610 4x4 from a private party. They are asking $25K and I'm wondering if this is a reasonable price.

Here's the specs and included implements:

- 1800 Hours
- Shuttle-shift transmission (I was hoping to find HST, so also wondering how well these work compared to HST)
- JD #460 loader
- JD #48 backhoe
- MX-60 6 ft JD brush cutter
- box scraper
- landscape rake
- single shank ripper

Owner says it's had all the regular maintenance done and the only issues encountered was a blown hydrolic line which has been fixed. Also, he says there's some surface rust on the mower deck but other than that everything is in good shape.

I did do a search on tractorhouse.com and it seems to me the asking price is a bit high - maybe somewhere in the 18K to 20K might be more in line with the value, but I am a total novice at this so therefore posting this question for you experts out there. I am in Hawaii so that might have some factor in driving up the price a bit.

I have not actually seen the equipment yet as some travel is involved - will hopefully get a look at it later this week. Any input is greatly appreciated!

i bought a 4510 last year from a dealer with 750 hours it with a 460 loader,ballest box, scraper box and landscape rake all for 16,000 out the door and mine is a 03.i have the shuttle and love it, i have no experence with the hst's nor do i really want to in the bigger units. the smaller unit like the 2305 are probley pretty good with the hst. i wantd a gear uint but figured if they put shuttle on backhoe's and they hold up then it should in a tractor. i was thinking about the same as you in the 18k to 19k. you can still run a 72"mmm mower on these unit's i have one on mine and works great easy off and on to.

Thanks for the input - I believe the seller is pretty firm on price (and actually just put up an advertisement for 1,500 more than I was quoted) so I think I'll keep looking.
