John deere 7810 Used.

Edward. S · Dec 5, 2009

My dad might buy a 7810

with 2500 hours

on the clock for around $70,000 is it worth it. It has a Powerquad + 16/16. Just like my 6420

Has around 150 Pto hp. factory duals. Front weights don't know how many. Probably about 12-14 Front weights. 47kg each.

If those hours are accurate that would be a VERY low houred 7810...that being said I would think 60-65K would be more in line, but if the tractor is excellent and good tires 70K wouldn't be too far out of line. We sold two earlier this year for around 60K with 3000-3500hrs on them.

From what I can tell this forum has experience with 5000 machines and smaller. Most members here have little or no experience with larger tractors. Good luck shopping.

If it is not MFWD, I would say that is on the high side. How many hydraulics, loader ready, condition of tires, stored inside or out and other options will affect price? 2WD just doesn't sell as well any more. Many farmers will pass on a tractor like that unless it is a backup or secondary tractor. Green paint always seems to command more $$. I have a JD 4520 CUT. Other newer tractors are 2008 CASE-IH 125 Maxxum PRO (125hp) and 245 Magnum (245hp) both with MFWD. These were our first MFWD larger ag tractors. My 125 will out spec a similar sized JD 7230, has more options and cost 20K less. I was originally wanting a JD but have been very satisfied with my CASE-IH.
We traded our Case-IH 2wd 8930 (180 pto hp) in for the 245. The 8930 is a litlle bigger than the 7810. It had 3,900 hours and was in good to very good condition. We got 55K for trade-in after bargaining for the new tractor. The 8930 was resold from the dealer in a month.
