Selling my B3030 pricing opinions????

jlbota · Jun 21, 2012

I have an 05 Kubota B3030 with about 248 hours on it and I am wanting to possibly sell it outright and was wanting opinions and input on what a fair asking price would be. It has a front loader with a quick attach 60inch bucket and toothbar. I have the Kubota quick attach pallet forks, 60inch belly mower and the BH75 backhoe with the 16inch bucket. Industrial tires and the rears are loaded. I also have a 5 foot KK 3pt tilller used twice and a 5ft rake with gauge wheels(wheels never used) and a 6 ft rear blade both made by Kodiak. I hate to part with it but it just doesnt get used like it should and barely has a scratch on it. I use a ZD326 to do all my mowing and it mostly just sits. Any opinions would be appreciated. I was thinking for the whole package around 23 to 24k Which is probably 20% off from what I gave for all of it.

I'm sorry, jlbota, that I don't have an opinion on it, but have you looked for "comps" on Used Tractors For Sale at TractorHouse.com: John Deere Tractors, used farm tractors and farm equipment, tractors for sale, Case IH, New Holland, Agco, Kubota?

Just put "Kubota B3030" into the little, light-blue "Quick Search" box, on the right side of the screen, and you will see what others are asking.

Does yours have a cab, fixed ROPS or foldable ROPS?

I'm looking for a cabbed B3030 myself.

Best of luck, until the folks with real experience show up--I'm sure you'll get some good recommendations.

Actually, I know a dealer in NYS that is hurting for inventory, right now--and furthermore, he told me he "LOVES selling cabbed tractors," but can't get enough of them. PM me if you'd like his name and number--he's nice and easy to talk to--he buys and sells across the country, sight unseen, as his normal business model. Of COURSE, he'd be offering less than retail, but that would still give you an idea of the "floor," below which you should not go, IMO. Lemme know?

I think you are way high in your estimate of what your machine is worth. You have to remember that folks can buy new, get a warranty and get 0% financing for just a little bit more than you think your tractor is worth.

It is worth what the market is willing to pay. Remember you are competing against new with warranty and 0% financing.

I would test the market with a craig's list add with pictures and see what that brings.
