BX23
Hi all
I am trying to trade in my BX23 and implements on a new B3000 and rtv1100 (yeah, I'm really into the cabs now!), and I was surprised how little the dealer offered me for it.

The BX23 is a 2005 model with 300 hours on it and is in good shape. Comes with the TLB package, Kubota MMM and leaf bagger, Woods 42" brush mower and a rear blade. The dealer is only offering $9500 for the trade.

This stuff cost over $21K 6 years ago, so I am surprised at 50%+ depreciation in that time. Obviously I am going on the assumption that Kubotas hold their value well and the BX is a very popular model in making the statement about depreciation, but I am open to experience/knowledge from others.

Any help/experience on the value here would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

My dealer is offering me 20k for my 09 bx2660 with fel, 60 mmm, front bx2750 snow blower for a b3000 hsdcc with fel and 72 mmm.

I have 230 hrs on it. I too have the cab bug. I think I might seal the deal although I wanted a new truck. Decisions decisions. I would use tractor more though :)

I think that's low. Try Barlows.

Why not just advertise it and sell it yourself? If tractor dealers are like car dealers they usually give you low book for your trade.

Absolutely, private sale prices are clearly higher than trade-in prices, but that has always been true.

For me, trading = time saved, and we all know what time =... I don't have much!

I was just really trying to see where people might ballpark my current equipment for trade.

Thanks

Just from what I've seen around here, you shouldn't have a problem getting 12-13 out of it if it's really nice...If it looks hammered, that's another story. Throw us some pictures so we know what you're working with.

I sold my old 2002 BX22 TLB with 60MMM in 2007 (150 hours) for 11K ...
mint shape...

Price might be good on cond..or low if mint...As noted above..show some pics..might have a good trade or not.

What were the final numbers they were offering for the package? Sometimes the "trade value" number doesnt really reflect what you are getting.

Ex. trading off list price makes it look like you are getting a real value on your trade in compared to getting a trade value off a sale price.

sounds like you have a great purchase lined up, cant beat the heat any better than in a cab!

Still negotiating the deal.
Not sure I understand what you are saying re trade price vs sale or list. Are you saying same trade in price vs lower "sale" price is higher % value? I agree.

Other comments re condition are important. The BX was my first tractor so I don't really know what counts for "mint" condition of a machine with 300 hours moving gravel, digging holes and banging over fields, other than obvious cosmetic differences. Being work machines, some paint missing here and there shouldn't matter as much, but the BX is more of a consumer machine, so maybe dealer resale is more effected by the aesthetics.

Will advise, and thanks for the tips guys!
