How to price a tractor for a quick sale

[cowzrul]

Never intended to list it on OSA. I appreciate everybody's replies. I'm going to list the entire package a few places for $27k. If anybody on OSA wants this deal I would take my bottom dollar of $23,000 this week.

The BB720X is two and a half years old. I just bought the rake and didn't even use it. The tractor has been serviced only by Kubota in Shawnee and the one off I-240. Only has 314 hours. Mainly used to brush hog my old property and then this past year I dumped construction debris in dumpsters during my construction. Seat is torn up and the paint is faded. Still fires right up and works as intended.

Reason I am selling: I went from 40 acres to 13 acres after I survived a near death COVID ICU visit. Most of my new property is sod and will be maintained by landscapers since I have COVID fibrosis and outside air particles flare up my lungs.

You've got a $25K -ish tractor/loader with about $5k to $6k in implements according to what I'm seeing for sale out there. I'd start around $32k and work your deal from there. That's still probably a very fair deal considering the value of the implements.

Nevermind... I see you've set your price. That's a damned good deal. Wish I had the cash...I'd be on my way to pick it up.

Wish I could make a decision today but I have to wait several weeks to see how my pending deal works out.
I'm sure you'll have it sold by then.
And I am sorry to hear about your complications. I wish you well.

Machinerypete shows $20k+ without implements

was this an auction result? i see them listed for sale anywhere from 20 to over 30K. but the auctions are a good real value tool sometimes.

sounds like a great deal for someone ( lost a good hunting buddy to COVID hate to hear your still fighting problems).

Dangit Bill. Prayers sent.

Longshot here but if you don't sell or the new buyer doesn't want the rake, I'd be interested in it. Been looking for one. Let me know if it doesn't sell or whatnot.

The Kubota salesman just texted me back and said mid $20k’s, so it sounds like the asking price is fair and already have a buyer. Congrats to both of you.

I don't think he'd accept my offer, as it's about $26,973 low (the message I quoted was missing the "k", and my motto is if you can't be smart, at least be a smartass). As much as I'd like to have the tractor, I currently have an over abundance of tractors and implements and an under abundance of cash flow to add to the collection.

Speaking of collections, there are farms and ranches all over northern Texas that have placed antique (REALLY antique) tractors and implements near the corner of their property or near the entry gate. Too bad that most of the time I see them we are driving by doing our road surveys.

One place even had five of them in a somewhat 5 pointed star shape facing out from the center.
