B2150 Hydro

[Anonymous Poster]

Heres the deal I've been offered: 97 B2150 Hydro with loader, 450 hours, turf tires, $10,000.00. Now the bad news, its a rental unit. Is this a good price?

I would say that that is a good deal on a 4wd model (B2150 HSD) but not a good deal if it is a 2wd model.

What would a new B2410 with loader cost, around $15,000 I think. You have to ask yourself if the savings is worth the lack of a warrantee, and the uncertainty of how rough those 450 hours have been. On a rental unit my guess is plenty rough. At 8% interest your 2150 will cost you about $200 a month for 5 years, and the new 2410 will be around $300 a month. If this is a once in a lifetime purchase, maybe the peace of mind is worth the extra bucks.

Where are you located?

There's a wealth of Kubota shopping knowledge on this board, but the deals seem to vary on a region by region basis.

If you're on the west coast, I can put you in touch with someone who can give you a knowledgeable answer to your question and possibly find you an even better deal. If you're in some other part of the country, there are other folk here who can help.

In Aug. of '99 we sold our B2150 with the same equip. plus a 60" mid-mount mower for $13,500.Tractor was a '94 model with about 650 hrs.So,I would say the price your talken is in the ballpark.

The price seems fair,but being a rental that concern me...be thats just me.

Could you try the tractor out for a weekend or so,and listen and watch for the little things?

Be careful and stay safe.
