I need some help figuring whether a trade is worth it and if so what the $ difference is.
Somebody close by has a Kubota L3410 with 357 hours, clean, fairly new tires, and an LA 481 FEL and is asking $12500. He wants a smaller tractor better for just mowing. Don't know the year.
I have a B7500 with a Kubota FEL, 50 hours, clean, and with standard Kubota FEL. Don't know the year, maybe 5 years old. I've got about 20 acres and am starting to think the B7500 is a little too light for plowing, rooting rocks and dragging stumps, etc. although I haven't tried yet. A few questions:
1) If we traded, who owes who any $ ?
2) Will the horse power difference (around 10+ HP) be small enough that I wouldn't notice an appreciable enough difference in performance to make it worth it, especially since I <know> my tractor and it is pristine (previous owner was a wus and had only put 40 hours on it). I don't know how the L3410 has been treated.
3) What features would I be gaining or losing in a trade ? For example, does the L3410 have essentially the same auxiliary hydraulics, or more powerful, and if so, what could I do with it ?
Thanks for any insight,
Bob
