B7100 with loader

[7acres]

Looking at a b7100 with 1500 hours and a loader. It's been repainted.

Owner asking $5k, is that high?

How old is it? There's a considerable difference in the older models and the later models that came out in the early to mid-90s. What model is the loader. I had a 1995 B7100 with a B1630C front end loader that cost me $10,800 when it was new.

1991 with a Kubota loader, not sure the model number of the loader.

I am definitely no expert on prices; in fact, know very little, but you might go to google.com and search for "1991 Kubota B7100". I found several; most without a loader, which is about the most expensive attachment you can get. So my purely personal thoughts are that the asking price isn't bad at all. I don't think he'd have a problem getting that down here in Texas anyway.

If it's HST that's a decent price for around here.
Year isn't the best way to tell the age. I think the split between old and new style is serial number 6000. How many lug nuts on the front rims? Old ones have 4.

It's HST. Owner says 1991, there are 4 lugs on the front tire. What year does the model change and what were the changes?

I don't know just when they changed them. I know in '95 my dealer told me the B7100 had been one of their most popular models, but Kubota discontinued it at some point, then customers and dealers had complained enough that they came out with the new version.

Of course, I traded mine back to dealer for a B2710 in '99 and the last time I saw the salesman in 2002, he said he had sold my B7100 3 more times and it was still in great shape without a lot of hours on it. I guess each of us owners liked the little tractor except for the lack of power steering. The salesman said each time he'd sold it, it later came back in trade for a slightly larger tractor that had power steering. Of course, it wasn't really all that hard to steer except when you had a heavy load in the loader bucket.

The way my dealer explained tractor model to me is like this. Tractors don't change year to year so it's the "year" a tractor is sold that most people will reference. A new tractor could sit on a lot for awhile before being sold as new. That skews things a bit. I was told to look at the serial number. I don't know what the differences are beyond the number of lug nuts on the front wheels, but if you PM me with your email I can send you parts guides for both and you can compare.
I forgot to ask earlier, is the tractor 4 wheel drive? I assumed it was when I commented on the price.

In NoVA, that price on the side of the road would sell it fast. I have see quite few like this one.

I've got a 1996 B7100HSD (4WD) with a 60 inch Kubota MMM, has about 140 hours on it. I'm the original owner. I've bought a new place (95 acres) and need a larger machine, perhaps a L3940. The B7100 has been garaged all it's life. Anyone have an idea of what it's worth or where to check prices?

thanks
