I've been focusing on Kubota B series primarily because they are only only dealer of any size who focuses on tractors within 75 miles of me. I'm really getting hung up on new vs used. I have found a 2009 B2320 HST with 65 hours with a FEL and MMM for $12.9K (haven't offered less yet) that is almost as clean as a new one. Based on Kuobta pricing with a 10-15% cash discount I'm probably around 17K for a new one.
4K is a lot but you also have no warranty, and 5 years of hoses, etc aging. I realize low hours is important but at some point I would think age is a big factor. The used tractor was purchased from the dealer I'm looking at so I'm comfortable with service on it.
Also, how do I find out what differences exist between a 2009 and 2014 model. Major/minor, etc.
