Buying Advice Looking for advice; 355/2210 out; 2520 in

You might be expecting a little too much--dealer won't want to compete with themselves--what does a similar 2305 sell for? They need to sell those to, and if a new one is "only" 1 or 2K more than a used one why would a buyer go for the used one (financing, warranty etc)? Selling it yourself you don't need to worry about making a profit, and the complete package would also be worth more to someone looking to get into this category machine. I would at least list it as a full package for what you want to get out of it (knowing what the dealer has offered) and see what kind of response you get. Good Luck!

A new 2305 setup like mine lists for $15,587 according to the JD configurator. Add $200 for the bar tires/wheels, maybe another $100 for the x series seat and $113 for the folding rops for a grand total of $16,000.

If you can work a deal for 10% off you're at $14,400. Almost double what I was offered on trade.....

Based on the values I see in machine finder, I believe my 2210 as equipped would list for $11K or so. If I decide to list it myself I'll probably start at around $10K.

Call me crazy if you wish....I've got nothing to lose and have my 355 as a backup in case the 2210 sells faster than planned.

I just checked the local craig's list listing and lo and behold look what I found.

2004 John Deere Compact Utility 23 HP Diesel Tractor 4 x 4 with 256 hours. Tractor has power steering and hydrostatic transmission. Well maintained and clean utility tractor that is sure to be an asset for yard, garden or small farm use. Also for sale is a 16 car hauler trailer that can be used to transport the tractor and its implements around. The trailer can be purchased for an additional $1650.

Itemized list of included options:
- 48 front end loader
- Front Brush guard
- R4 Tires

- I-Match quick attach/release for rear 3pt hitch
- Rear Ballast box
- Rear mount Garden rake
- Rear mount pivoting blade
- Old 60 brush hog (fair condition)

Suddenly my price of $11K seems reasonable don't you think? Or else this price is waaay too high........

Looks like you would have a very competitive offering--maybe even sell yours first! Nice to have a backup in the 355.

Hope this helps. Dennis

Thanks again to all responders, lots of good info.

Dealer came by and looked at my 2210. I guess I had my hopes set too high because his offer of $7500 didn't resonate real well with me. My 2210 has 250 hours, 210 loader, 62C deck, femco folding rops, x series suspension/seat, rear worklight and block heater. Oh and two sets of wheels/tires, turfs and bars.

Try to sell it outright or perhaps you do a consignment deal with them.

My dealer took a 2210 in trade wiht laoder, deck and a tiller - they paid $8500 I think for it. I will ask what they got for it. I would not get totally hung up on the trade in - see what the final numbers are and shop it.

That ad means nothing - it didn't sell.

Look on ebay and do a search for sold items. Advanced search will show them.

Looking at completed and selling 2210s on line I bet you can get $9500-$10K for it.

Sell the extra wheels and tires separate - net another $350-400 or so.

All - thanks for listing the other 2210 prices.

I did the ebay sold item search - good suggestion. I found these 2210's all with 210 loader and 62C:

300 hours....sold at $9600 by private seller

91 hours...sold at $9625 by dealer

131 hours...54C not 62C...NOT SOLD at $8300...Buy It Now price set at $12,500 (wow).

I'm at 250 hours...and my 2210 has quite a few extras these don't...so I'm still thinking a starting price of $10K is in the ballpark.


Thanks again, I love TBN, our collective intelligence is second to none!

Hi Fred we are going through the same process of only having one tractor/mower. Going from the Deere to the Kubota line up back and forth mainly due to the b series 3 speed hydro. I was set on the JD 790. Now I have to do some thinkin. However, my wife is flinchin, it's just starting but I see it coming. If it gets bad does your wife have any sisters?
