Whats a kioti LB 1914 w/ loader worth?

[Illini22]

Their is a 2004 LB 1914 near me for sale. It would defiantly be a step up from my Kubota hst b7100 (no loader). It also comes with a chipper that I probably wouldn't use much. It has 140 hours, owner selling because it is rarely used (really). I'm looking for some pros and cons of potentially buying this tractor. It is in very good garaged condition. He is asking $7000 or best. For that kind of money I know I would be better off with a ck 20 (a little more money), but if I could pick it up cheap it may be worth it. It has a manual trans and power steering, not sure what else. Thanks for any info or replys.

A new CK20 is going be about twice that price if they have a free loader program going with it, if not add another $2K for loader. Make an offer and sell the chipper if you don't need or want it.

SS, thanks for the reply. I was thinking a used ck20. Their is a 2010 near me for $9500 with low hours. I may offer $4000 for the lb1914 and see what happens. It's not exactly want I want (hst), a little older, not being manufactured any more etc.

If is not want you want, might want to think it over. Soemtimes it ends up costing more when decisions are made on $ only. $9500 for 2010 CK20 doesn't sund to bad either with loader on it.
