I've been thinking about rounding out "the big buy" with a Woods 9000 backhoe. New ones are $7300 (with PTO pump) and $6500 without - my choice of buckets.
My dealer just got a trade-in machine with a supposedly low-time 9000 on it (with pump) for $5800. It's been outside a while (paint isn't as pretty as my new 'bota) but dealer claims is tight and they seem very comfortable with it. Beyond some surface rust and scrapes it looks sound (original teeth on 16" bucket). I like the savings though I admittedly buy new when I can to avoid other peoples problems. Price includes picking up my tractor, installation and delivery.
Does this seem like a fair price to you folks?
