Price Check Trade in value 2013 5083e

[legacyfarmcattle]

Looking to upgrade tractors. Just wondering what everyone thought a good price on the trade should be. It has about 150 hours, with a cab, 553 loader and is like it rolled off the floor. Always shelter kept and only used for hay. Any thoughts would help.

Just for "kicks and giggles," I would suggest talking to your JD dealer. (where you bought it) Tell him what you're wanting to do. See what kind of deal he can give you, then shop other dealerships. (including other brands that you might be interested in) Chances are, the JD dealer can sell that tractor for more money than the competition can, and thereby offer you a better trade-in. (I'm sure a 2013 model could be financed through JD credit)

What "upgrades" are you looking for? More HP, larger size and capacity, or just more bells and whistles?

Is it the pre-tier 4 tractor? If so that will command some value as well as it being really clean and low houred. I honestly don't see why you couldn't get really really close to what you paid for it. Do you already have the next tractor in mind? If not I can pm you some dealers that will give you too dollar for your tractor.

Yea it is a tier 3. That's why I jumped on it. It was the last one this dealer had. Not real sure of what tractor I want next. I'm open to exploring different brands. Just have started looking and trying to figure out how much equity I have....kinda makes a difference, if it's even worth exploring. Thanks(sorry if there is grammar issues, this new phone and me aren't getting along...it's winning lol)

Well if I were going to trade a 5083 I wouldn't even bother messing with another 5 series. It would be a 6 series all the way. Maybe a rental return? Or are you wanting to go smaller? What will the new tractor be doing that the one you have now couldn't?

I've actually thought about going to something smaller like a 4x20. Sounds silly I know but we just don't do as much hay as we did in the past. That's why there's not many hours on this. But I still want to keep a cab.

I just helped a friend research and finalize a deal on a nice used Kubota L4240 with only 250 hours in it. The funny thing is in the back of my mind I kept thinking "you know a tractor that size sure would be a lot more handy to have for my loader tractor then this 67hp beast(my 5325)". I might end up borrowing his tractor soon.

That's just it, I feel like I'm not getting all the use I could be out it. It sure would be nice to use a finishing mower in a cabbies tractor rather then an open tractor. One of those hard calls haha

To be honest I'd never really taken a hard look at Kubotas or knew a lot about them until recently. Went with him to a local dealer and sat on some and checked them out and I came away impressed. I have never really been interested in the Deere tractors under the 5 series. I just thought the price didn't match the value you got with them. If I had to buy me a smaller tractor I'd really have to be convinced not to go buy a Kubota.

 

[legacyfarmcattle]

Yea that's my thing to...it's crazy the price of them. Any idea what the kubotas were running in the 40-50 hp range? The only thing is my trade. I feel like jd will give me the most...but that doesn't matter if I get a better deal on a kubota.
