Hi,
1st apologize for the long-winded email/forum question
just looked at Kioti LB1914 year 2001 with 365 hours
good condition with original loader and original backhoe.
all 4 AG tires OK and rear are filled with Calcium for extra weight.
lived indoors (original owner has all manuals and paperwork).
claimed medium (not light but not hard) use on a few local properties.
nice fellow & seemed like well maintained (even has some spare filters
hydro oil etc.) also has cheap snow plow blade that easily hooks directly
into the bucket (neat small plow) I think it was NEVER kept outside
looking at all the fittings and metal in great shape. I want to be fair
so would really like to know what this is worth ? I could only find these 3
1996[7] ones for comparison here at tractorhouse.com
http://www.tractorhouse.com/listings/farm-equipment/for-sale/list/manufacturer/kioti/model/lb1914
the loader worked and responded well as did the backhoe. 8forward/8reverse shuttle shift
Original price (USD)$11,000 (2006) tractor only & not sure what loader & backhoe cost ?
please be serious - What would you think this is really worth given it is almost 20 years old ?
I'm guessing in between $6500 and $8500 ? or a little more ? maybe $9500 or worth more
if he pushed a little higher given it really is in such clean shape and maintained as far as I can tell...
Is this more or less an older version of a new cs2510 for comparison ?
trying to decide to spend extar for brand new is not worth it
I have been finding out in trucks / cars / welders / appliances / almost everything is no longer
built as well or repairable for mechanically inclined folks anymore so you get what you pay for......
2nd question is I need to purchase a trailer quick, what might this all weigh ?
using specs from tractorDATA
TractorData.com Kioti LB1914 tractor attachments information
i am guessing again: maybe call it 4,000 pounds ? cannot find weights for loader or backhoe or calcium
weight of tractor = 2,132 lbs
weight of loader = 500 lbs ?
weight of backhoe = 300 lbs ?
weight of calcium = 500 lbs (250 per tire)
TotaL = 3,442 LBS
any suggestions ? can one of the cheaper 16 foot GVWR 7000 pound trailers suffice (dual 3500pound brake axles) be safe enough ?
they look mickey mouse to me with tailgates that are thin mesh versus the 10K & 14K trailers that are meant for equipment not landscaping
again sorry for so many questions and lomg but I really really appreciate all your opinions as I've never
had a real tractor (just the small lawn tractors with very tiny PTOs) small kohler-based deere/simplicity
these LB1914 look an awful lot like kubota parts might even be interchangeable !
all the kubotas I've looked at are beat up and abused really bad over the last 2 years so going to pull this trigger.
just curious how much you guys think ?
very much appreciated !
