I got 10k cash for you on Saturday, haha (no, seriously though, I will be there).

But in all honesty, after conducting used tractor research for the last month+, I would swag it at double that; $20k. Not having HST narrows your market a bit, but if you can clean it up and make it "like new" then you are in great shape with such low hours. Good luck!

Oh and welcome to TBN.

Forgot to mention to check tractorhouse.com for reference.

dealer offered me 11k and I laughed. tractorhouse has 1 for 11k without backhoe. was thinking maybe 16,500-17,000 range?

I think they were around $21k new for that package, maybe a little more or a little less depending on the dealer and options. It is now 4 years old and no warranty (unless bought late in 2008 when they went to 5 year), and you can't offer 0% financing to a customer. We generally find that a rig like this, if priced over $15k, even if like new, will be a slow sale. People will tend to pay the extra $4k and get the warranty, low rate financing, and 0 hours. So you may chuckle at the dealer at $11k, and we will chuckle at you at $17k...and the real retail price is somewhere about in the middle.

If it is worth $14k retail, and the dealer wants to do a service and make 15% and offer free delivery and a short warranty, he isn't getting rich with his $11k offer.
