How many hours is too many hours?

tkenney,

Though the hours are fine, I strongly agree with johndeere2210's advice. At least spend some seat time on the 2210/2305 before making a decision. The attachments though are a few $'s. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Price is definitely NOT high. Your comparison is apples to oranges since a 45 loader is about a $2700 jump in price over a front blade. Not to mention the differential in cost between the 62" vs. 54" deck, which is about $400, IIRC.

To the OP - $10K is a good price on that machine if you know for a fact you'll have no future need for a 3PH or rear PTO. I'm guessing you won't talk him down from that number, since his trade-in allowance to the original owner was likely very close to that.

I agree with you that the price is not that high considering the attachments. I traded in my 585/45 loader/weight box for $9k on the 2210 and I keep the 54"mmm. Of course my 585 only had 75 hours on it and also had the pto.

In fact, I was at the dealers the other day and he had sold my X585 that same week I traded and has since taken it back and resold it again /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
