Buying Advice Going to look at a B7800

[pipeDream]

Going to look at a B7800 with 204hrs on it. This will be a first tractor purchase for me. Is there any known issues with these that I should look for?
It comes with a tractor w/cheated cab,trailer,FEL,Backhoe,Brushog,post hole& york rake. What would be the low and high end for purchase price?

Thanks!

I had a B7800 for 3 years. The only common problem I know of with them is the foot pedal has to be centered or they won't start.

Had one for 2 years. Great tractor with no problems at all. I think it is the best of the B series. Traded up to a GL3540 because I wanted a cab for winter snow removal and I'm getting spoiled.

Mine has been good for 5 years. As stated, the hydro pedal has an inherent issue but that can be resolved in several ways.

I have a front loader and a mid mower, and overall, the machine has performed flawlessly.

Word of caution: with the front loader full (with or without counterweights or loaded tires) it will tip easily on any slight angled incline. Keep the load in the bucket low and on as level of ground as possible.

I can't offer info on the pricing with the attachments. I think I'd be happy to get all of that for $18k - $23K.

I have a B-7800 and love that thing. Bought mine with 206hrs and now has 330hrs or so. With all that stuff you listed my guess is that it will be very close the $20-22K. What is the asking price?

Me too!!!!:thumbsup: Since they are not made any more a tractor with that few of hours will be increasingly rare. I personally prefer the LA402 loader to the newer LA504 loader on the B3200. Seems like quite the package. What do they want for it all?

I've had mine since 2007 . I was picking up oil yesterday and I was
surprised at the cost of new tractors.

I've had mine for 2 yrs now and love it. I use it mostly for landscaping work and snow plowing. It's a little light but my R4's aren't loaded (yet).
Mine's an '03 model that had 120hrs on it when I bought it for $10k Also came with a 5' tiller. I think I got a killer deal!

I have owned a B7800 for 4 years and love it. Terrific power : weight ratio.

Nothing bad to say about it!!
