This is my 3rd time writing this because for some reason my computer doesn't want to play nice :confused2:
First off thanks to everyone on here for providing a wealth of information and contributing to rapid decline of productivity at work:laughing:
Here is the purpose of my post: My father and I have 3 tractors (well 2 tractors and a backhoe) and the problem is, the backhoe is too large and heavy for what we use it for, one tractor is nice and we like it but doesn't have a bucket, the other tractor has the bucket but no 4wd and is virtually useless without the weight box on the back. I know we could add a bucket to one or fill the tires on the other or many other options, but we want to sell these three and buy one nice used one.
I need some help on pricing the tractors to put them up for sale? Then I need some help deciding on what implements and attachments I will need and use most, and finally deciding on a new tractor to run the attachments. I already have a tractor in mind that I want but I would like to see if it matches up with what you pros think.
First tractor in the lineup is an '86 Case 275 30hp 4wd, no bucket, turf tires, runs great and has older beat up brush hog that works good but isn't pretty. We mostly just use this tractor for brush hogging. We don't need turf tires as most work is in the woods or rough field.
I was thinking of asking around 6000-6500, what are your thoughts???
Next up is the Case 380 with bucket, 2wd runs great but looks beat up from being used, it has about 1500-2000hrs on it. It has a HUGE weight box on the back, the tires don't have much tread left on them. This is a lot more powerful and heavy than the other one. I believe its one of those David something tractors????
really dont' know what to ask for this one....
Lastly the late '70's Dynahoe 190-B 2wd backhoe. Anyone who has seen these knows it is a BEAST! Albeit a slow beast. Very heavy, very powerful, very slow. Has a cab and runs great, starts quick every time but has normal wear and tear of a tractor this age. I really hate to see this go because it will do anything you ask of it but it is just too big for what we need. Sorta clueless on what to ask for this one...
Once we sell these 3 tractors we'll put some money with what we get and frantically look for a good condition used one.
I'll work on Part 2 to this post now...
