yanmar 2500 value

[silverking]

First off great site for info guys , thanks

Now i have a mid 70's factory reconditioned yanmar2500 that i consider to be a 9 on a scale of 1-10, i use it almost everyday and i am about to move up to mahindras 4110 so my question is what should i ask for the yanmar and should i try to trade it in or sell it outright?

Here is a site I found that could help you on your asking price...

Well, Japan would be a good place to get a Japanese Grey Market tractor. However, there are no Yanmar factories that recondition tractors.
What they mean by "factory reconditioned" is a building full of people that repaint and pretty up an old and broken tractor. Some people here sell the reconditioned ones, some have bought them, but I don't think I would, personally.

Got my 2500 about 18 months ago via auction. Would consider it a 7 on your scale. All appeared to be original, but I have been very pleased with it. I consider I got a "Deal" at $3200.

So if i trade it in on the new one yas think 3500 would be good or should i try to sell it outright?

silverking,
If you can get 3500 on a new Mahindra 4110, I think I would do it.

Is Mahindra really a "move up" ?

So can i post this tractor for sale on this site for free or do they want you to buy the spot?
