I have a Kioti CK 20 and like it very much but would like a little bigger tractor. Yesterday my wife and I were at a garage sale and the people had a New Holland TC30 sitting behind the house. I asked about it and the guy said he was going to be selling it soon. He said he bought it new 7 or 8 years ago with a FEL, 6' Woods finish mower and a rake. (I didn't see the rake).
He let me start it and listen to the motor and I also ran the FEL up and down a little. I asked him what he wanted for it and he said he didn't know. He said he paid $14,000 for it when he bought it. It has 495 hours on it.
I looked on Tractor house and they seem to be pretty high on there, but so does everything else I look at. An example, my dealer has a brand new Kioti CK30 Hydro for $13,500 and I see used ones on Tractor house for that much.
I left my number with the guy and he said he will do a little research and call me.
So, a couple of questions. 1. What is a reasonable price for me to counter with or offer him. 2. Is this a good tractor? How would it rank against a Kioti CK30?
I don't know much about tractors, but I do know that I like my Kioti.
