Got me a deal

[killdozerd11]

I bought an 06 kabota B7800 With FEL LA402 box scraper and a Gearmore slip clutch mower and the ramp trailer all for $15,000.00

The tractor has 104 hrs and had been serviced i have all paper work on it
it was always stored inside his barn and has seen little use.
The trailer is new and was delivered but never licensed or used

Thats a great package deal. Timing is everything.

 

[JOHNTHOMAS]

Congratulations. The B7800 is a great tractor. I owned one for 3 years and traded it when I got it paid off to a L3240. A year later traded the L3240 to a B3200 because I liked the B7800 so much.

Great deal. That would be an ideal sized tractor for me, maybe someday I can trade up a size or two...

On this coast that's called larceny.

Great deal. That seat looks like the earlier style that Kubota replaced. If you find yourself having a hard time staying in the seat, you can still buy them subsidized by Kubota:

Thanks for the info about the seat that would be a definite improvement

I also need to install a TnT badly as i use the scraper a lot

It's not considered LARCENY if you slap the seller in the face with cash.

Even if it's not the amount he had in mind

It was an estate sale he also had another estate toward the L A area and had another L series kabota but had a lot more hours on it and i really did not want to go all the way there to look at it when i really thought this to be the better deal and he wanted $21,000.00 but had no takers with the current economy what it is.
The guy was an assigned executor and was from the L A area and i don't think he liked traveling all the way up to this place on the back side of Julian.
The man who died had no living relatives (Which explains why he had money)

So i waived $15,000.00 cash under his nose and he delivered too.
I live in Riverside county and the equipment was in San Diego county about 50 miles away.That was the first time that the trailer was ever used

The thing about this deal was that i probably couldn't but the tractor for that much.when you consider that the paint was barley worn off the cutting edges on the loader bucket or the scraper.
he had used the mower because he had just bought this place a few month before he died he was mowing and did not have the chain curtains on the front or rear of the mower and it threw a rock and broke the window on his truck so he had the dealer install them and 2 days after that he had a heart attack according to this guy and the neighbor i was talking too
All the equipment was kept in a very large steel building.. barn ..All new
The guy had money and wasn't afraid to spend it and didn't do things half assed he had good taste and took care of his stuff

Who cares if it's a 2006 - 100 hours is still brand new. Sounds like you got a great deal, especially including a trailer, if I understood you post correctly.

 

[firefighter jim]

What kind of trailer. How about a picture of that.

 

[bstrom]

What is that thing in your avatar a D8? Holy cow you drive that thing around all day and then get on a B7800?

 

[Red Beast]

awesome pick up (purchase, not truck), and nice bit of bargaining there too mate.

Now, that's funny right there.

Killer deal. Congrats and welcome!

I went and took some pics of the trailer for you to see
I do like the frames on the ramps so that the trailer don't move when loading or unloading

My avatar is a D-10N

I have run pretty much all the cat dozer's from the D-2 to the D-11R
here's a pic of an D-9N with the slope board not attached it's behind my car and a 140G blade and a 235 excavator

When you run these for a living you lose the size perception thing until you park a car or truck by one.
Most of the equipment pics i have are on 35mm film

Thanks for sharing the pictures. I think you got one heck of a deal. I'm thinking of sending the local sheriff over there as it's almost criminal what you got the tractor package for! The trailer itself is worth a couple thou. Good luck with the B7800. They are a great little tractor. Jim
