2013 B2320 Hydro

SCWOOD · Oct 24, 2014

looking at a 2013 B2320 Hydro 4x4 R4 tires at local Rv dealer they also sell used tractors. The B2320 has 7hrs they put a brand new loader on it asking $13500. What do yall think? Is this a good tractor? Is this a good price? Thanks for any help!

It's a great tractor. Had one for over 3 years. The price is also OK.

My concerns would be the obvious, such as What is that tractor doing there? Where did it come from? All that sort of thing. You'd also be very, very close to a rock bottom, push hard price for a new one with no history questions, dealer preferential treatment for warranty, financing options, etc.

If he is asking 12500 I try 11000 all he can say is no then you can go up

Yup. As a reseller, you'd also face sales tax, so best to plan on that as well. That asking price is within $500 of what I bought mine for brand new, just sayin'. Rocky is correct. I would have to really, really push and find out where the bottom line is on this mystery machine. If I was within $1400 of a best deal at a Kubota shop? There's no doubt what I would do, but that's just me.

I got an offer on a Kioti CK2510H loader for $14900.The dealer loads the rear tires, puts stop leak in the fronts,upgrades the battery to a gel one and going to include hooks on the bucket & filters for the 50hr service. full warranty, tractor is 500lbs heavier, can get payments down to $125 a month vs $160 with a personal loan on the kubota.

Have you priced a new B2320 with a Kubota dealer? If not, try Barlows in Somerset, Ky................... 60 x $125= $7500 for a new Kioti. No wonder some people are buying them.

Is there more to this story than your telling in this comparison? Is there cash money down that's not being told?

I will be putting $7,000 down.I own a Kubota BX1800 MMM 2000yr. I have had enough issues with it to consider something else.

Some people sell their old tractors themselves and believe it's the only way to go. I've bought and sold 17 Kubotas in the last 11 years. Some I've sold myself and most I've traded to Barlows for the new one and took my equity out in cash for my trade in, used the cash for other bills and investments and borrowed the entire purchase price at Kubotas 0% for 60 months ( I don't get the cash incentive money). Barlows has always given me a fair trade in for my used machine, he sells lots and lots of new and used Kubotas all over the US. Barlows does not collect state sells tax on equipment sold out of state or for agricultural use equipment sold in state. I don't do Ag so I always pay sales tax on the difference of our trade unless my trade in is worth more than my new purchase which has happened sometimes.:2cents:

If you drive to Ky and buy it you will have to pay Ky sales tax. That's why people don't drive to Ky but have Barlows or other out of state dealers deliver them to their front door. Barlows delivers to SC often. Not that far, I just returned from there myself.
I to bought a B2320 and kept my BX25. I used them back and forth between two different locations. Very little difference between the two machines other than BH on BX25 as very little difference between BX1800 and a B2320.
Two tractors of near same size are always great to have.
