Value of a Kubota down the road

[fried1765]

In today’s market, you can easily get close to or more than you paid new. That was my experience with my B2601 w/ 50 hours I sold recently.

You can apparently get more that you paid when you bought used also.
There is a 2006 Kubota L48TLB with 452 hours, listed for sale on Machinery Trader for $42,900.
I bought my 2006 L48TLB exactly 24 months ago, for $32K
Mine has 200 fewer hours, better paint condition (pictures), hydraulic thumb, 3 rear remotes, 3rd function, Q/A hoe bucket, and Hyd. diverter for loader bucket latching. The Machinery Trader listing lacks all of these items.
Can it be true that my used 2006 L48TLB has appreciated by $11K+ in two years?

I am posting this in the Kubota forum instead of the "catch all" buying and pricing thread so hopefully we won't get a lot of the gnashing of the teeth reply's . I sold my Kubota MX 5100 today that I bought at the end of 2012. 212 hours, excellent condition, etc. Adding in routine maintenance, a 3rd function valve, and wheel weights, I got 1K less than what I had in it. Not a bad return that I doubt few tractor brands could boast.

That was cheap rent.

Did I read that correctly? A 2012 tractor with 212 hours? That’s vastly underused. 22 hours a year? I have (2) 2012 Ms with 2700 hours on them and that’s considered low to average hours.

Id have to say he got top dollar because the tractor has no hours on it.

Just wrote a work order today on a 2 year old Kubota with 6.2 hours. I'm like, dude why do you own a tractor?

0.2 hours is loading and unloading from the trailer.

Garage queen
My hay mowing tractor only gets about 100-125 hours a year on it.
And I thought that was under-houred.

I think you had several things in your favor Step. Your maintenance of the tractor - todays market - Orange.

I had the Kubota dealer ask if I wanted to trade in my M6040 for a newer model. They made me an offer exactly like yours. Pre-tier 4 tractors in the condition mine is - scarce as hen's teeth.

I politely declined.

I have 2 and neither are going anywhere My 2 M9's are like matching book ends...

Tires are looking worn.
What do they cost to replace?
Bahahahahahahahahaha

Car dealers are paying more for used trucks today than they sold for too.
I'm not sure how any of this is a good thing. Unless of course the item simply isn't needed and won't be replaced.
