I just bought my 1st tractor ( Kubota ), 09/13/09. It's a B9200D. Needs a lot of TLC, but it runs, and all the hydraulic's work. I paid $5,000.00. Came with Kubota loader, and a Kubota backhoe ( 16" bucket ).
Bought a 2006 BX2230 with FEL, BX2750 blower, and ballast box all new in April 2009, for $13,000. Dealer here was selling Kubota dealership to another company and I got it on "Clearance". They wanted to get rid ofthe tractor since it was an '06 and they hadn't been able to sell it.
I love the darn thing!!! I think my wife is starting to eye it suspiciously....
I was about to pull the trigger on a JD tractor when I thought of checking Craigs list in a neighboring state. I found a 2006, L2800 with less than 150 hours. HST, 4WD and a FEL. I made an offer of $11,500 and was surprised when they took it with no counter offer.
I've been all over this tractor changing fluids, filter, grease, etc, etc and have put about 10 hours on it doing various jobs. The only thing I found was a missing grease zerk which I replaced in about 5 minutes.
I've never had a tractor with a FEL and now I can't stop finding ways to use it.
Don't tell the wife how much fun I'm having.
Just got my 2009 L2800 w/ pequea cx350 chipper, bushhog sq160, MF bb400 4' box blade and a single bottom plow for $17500 before tax. Think I did alright on the price. FYI Kubota has a $1000 rebate on all L2800 & L3200 thru the end of october
