Have prices gone up this much

I sold my B3030 to a member here & tractorbynet. I think i gave him a great deal on a 300 hour cherry condition machine, and i bet he would agree! The dealer trade in offer was insulting, thousands less than i sold it for. Dont dealer trade, you will get screwed.

Barlow Farm Equipment was going to give me 12,500 for the BX23 sight unseen. You might want to check them out for a quote. Barlow Equipment - Home of the Kubota Tractor Package Builder

Good Luck and let us know how you make out!

That's where I got my 2 BXs.
A good plac to buy.

My dealer always recommends that it's better to sell the old tractor yourself. He has to sell it at what you could sell it, which means he has to buy it for less than that in order to make a profit.

Find out about the sales tax rules in your state. In CA, if I traded my BX for a B3030, they don't mark down the transaction due to the trade in. It is considered two separate transactions. I make a wholesale sale to him on the BX, then I buy the B3030 and pay tax on the full amount, just as if I had kept the BX. Different states may have different rules, so it would be helpful to know how that works in your state before doing anything.

Good luck with your decision.

Hey Tom,

My first inclination is to sell it on my own. Your comments on tax implications are an excellent point. I have to look into that a little closer. I was somewhat surprised at the quote I received from my dealer on the B3030. Perhaps my expectations were unrealilstic, there appears to be a rather significant price difference from dealer to dealer.

Thanks for your input lawnking, when I approached my dealer I went in knowing fully well his price would be a lot lower than I could probably sell it on my own. As I stated to Tom, my big surprise was his quote on the B3030. There are two more Kubota dealers I will be obtaining quotes from, that may give me a better understanding of the pricing for my area. Thanks again,
