Buying Advice 82 Kabota

[plmcmanus]

I am in need of a 4x4 tractor for plowing my 1/4 mile driveway and redoing my arena among other small farm chores. I found this and wondered if it is worth it and what I should offer

Great condition Kubota L295DT
4WD
30HP
PTO works good
Tractor runs and works great
Tires ok shape and one new rear
Comes with box scraper with rippers and fork attachment for the bucket
Has 5900 hours
Always maintained and serviced
Has a block heater
Glow plugs work great and will start even in the coldest weather
No longer need
Make fair offer and not open to trades

Looks like lesser hour L295dt machines with a loader go from $8k to $10k. There's still a lot of hours left in a well maintained 5000 hour machine, but that is still a lot of hours on a smaller tractor.

I guess I would consider $6k to be a fair offer, maybe $7k if it was in particularly good shape.

Remember, the L295 does NOT have power steering, and I can tell you from experience, it does steer hard with a full bucket.

I note there is fork attachment for the bucket. What exactly does that mean? Does this tractor have a complete front end loader or just a place to put one? The tractor is forty five years old. Are parts readily available?
