with the 476 FEL and with a 7500 Woods Backhoe.
Being sold by owner asking for $14,500
Now the 7300 model was manufactured between 1998 and 2003. So parts availability for an 8 year obsolete model might be a serious consideration. Brand new, that whole package would have sold for $21,000. Figuring on a 15 year life expectancy, and this being 2011, the value of the tractor today with standard depreciation would be $9800.
A very cursory look and the machine appears in okay condition (Haven't actually started it or even gotten close enough to check the actual date of manufacture or the hour meter.)
Seriously tempted to low-ball an offer at $8500 and see if I can close at $10,000. Just not sure I actually WANT an 8 to 13 year old Cub.
