Price check L1801

[Mean Jean]

Making the move to a B series which means my faithful L1801 must go.
It was built in 1979 and has 1434 hours on the clock.
Includes an Allied 95 loader.
Has 2 sets of rims and rubber.
Sorry for the poor picture.

So....what's it worth?
Canadian funds.

Not sure how to convert, but I would say $3,000-$4,000 in U.S. money.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
That's the ballpark I'm playing in as well.
$3500 tractor value with an $1800 loader.
It's NA equivalent is the mighty L175/L185.

If you mean $3500 total; tractor and loader I agree. If you mean $3500 for the tractor Plus $1800 for the loader; for a total of $4800, good luck. The 3 digit Kubota are good machines but not worth much.

You forgot to include $1000 in emotional value!
Ha.
I'm only fooling myself now.
I want top dollar for my stuff and want to pay pennies on the dollar for someone elses stuff
It's been a great tractor for me in the last four years and it's gonna be hard to say goodbye.

There is a L175 not far from me. It has been on craigslist for at least 2 years, and it is only $2,500, no loader but has a snowplow. For such little money, you really might be as well off to keep your tractor. You may end up finding a dedicated use for it. I traded in a Kubota for one Ford, and I while the Ford has been excellent, I should have just bought it and kept the Kubota.

That thought has crossed my mind today.
