Price Check b2910 Price?

ispan1 · Mar 10, 2011

Hi folks, I've been on the fence about buying a new l3700 for 17,500 for the past few weeks.

I've seen an ad for a 2007 b2910 with 250 hrs with a 5ft bush hog for $13K. I know it's a smaller tractor, but I think it would do 99% of what I would need. Any thoughts on the price? Already spoke to the buyer a couple weeks ago and it doesn't sound like he wants to budge on the price.

Yeah, I guess I'm grabbing at straws. There are just so few used tractors on the market. I just wouldn't mind avoiding the sales tax and Kubota insurance that will be added to the price of the new one. If I only I had a neighbor who was ready to give away his l3400 with half a dozen implements like the guy in that other thread...

but you rarely step into a great used deal like that.

Add my vote for the new L. More tractor, full warranty, zero financing if desired.

The B2910 would be a steal at $11K, but at $13K it doesn't rock my world. FWIW

I was thinking 11.5 ...... but we are on the same page. I'd go with the new L with the original scenario.

Thanks for the advice, folks. $11k sounds great to me too, but It would probably be sold in an hour for that price around here. You're probably right about the new L, it's just been hard for me to swallow the idea of buying a tractor that costs more than any car I've ever bought. I know at least the tractor won't depreciate like a car.

Wow 17400 is more than any car. I bought a 2010 diesel jetta for my wife last year which is a basic car with the diesel option and it ran 24200 and i would hate to say what my truck ran in 2008. When I bought my 4240 this year my wife was quick to pick up that it was more than her car and joking said she needed a new car because she couldn't own a tractor that cost more than her car

I had a 2910 before my 4240 and the only reason I went to a larger tractor was to get more lift height and capacity as I struggled every year to transfer our jet skiis from the carts to the trailer it did every thing else I asked it to and it even did that I just had to be creative. My 2910 had 268 hours on it and it was an 04 which was the last year before the 3030 but if it's in good shape it's worth 13k I have seen them listed for more with 800 hrs or more on them. The dealer was going to give me 10k for just the tractor I ended up giving it to my dad and couldn't be happier every time he calls and says I used the kubota today or when I call and ask what are you doing and he is doing something he could be using the tractor to do and I have to remind him he has a tractor that would make it easier

Which is why we say $11 or $11.5K. Sorry, I just wouldn't go $13. I'd still go with the L or keep shopping for a better deal on a B.
