I have been kinda looking for an upgrade to my B7100HST (don't tell her). I have been needing more 3-point lift capability (then I could get 3-point mounts added to my pallet forks, which weigh 250 lbs -- over 1/2 the B7100's left capability) and would like power steering. I've been watching for the following (HST only):
B1700
B1750
B2100
B2150
B2400
Yesterday, a B2400 w/ 490 hours, LA351 loader, a 14' trailer, and a back blade showed up on craiglist about 90 miles from her for $8000!
I didn't see it until today. The add said to call after 4PM. I called; no answer, left a message. Called again at 6pm. Someone had called yesterday, and was on the way to pick it up.
Drats....
Over twice the rear lift capability, 30% more loader capability, 50% more HP (engine, and PTO), and power steering. I figure that I could sell the back blade and the trailer, and my B7100 and would have had a very nice upgrade for not a lot of extra money.
I guess, I'll keep looking......
