I am in the market for a TLB and looking at a Kubota L35 at an estate auction this weekend. It is a 1995 L35 with backhoe and looks like it has been used by a private party to maintain their property. Hours are about 1800 and looks like it has been stored inside. The auctioneer says they are using it around the property and it runs well but obviously I need to verify that for myself. I am inspecting it on Friday (auction is on Saturday) and I have a couple of questions.
Is there an inspection check list that someone has that I can reference when inspecting?
What is a fair price for a 1995 L35 with 1800 sold at an estate auction without really knowing the history or maintenance records?
We are in the market for a TLB because we are building a house next year and plan to use it to help with some excavation (big excavation jobs to be done by professionals, not me), tree and stump removal, driveway maintenance, move building materials with pallet forks, etc. Post construction it will be used to maintain the property, remove dead trees (we are in Colorado and have lots of dead trees from the beetle infestation), help build a shop
Thanks for any pointers or help!
