Price Check Me again Checking on Price for B3030

Hi to all: I too am a new to the tractor buying arena, I earlier posted a price check on a b7510 with implements. Feedback was positive and I went back to the dealer and he said no with my counter offer which was OK. If it is meant to be it is meant to be. I have found another tractor a B3030 2007 and it has 85 hours it as FEL and asking price is 15750.00. This would be a private sale, feels high any opinions. Thanks JB in Maine

Thanks for the feedback I will do that, looking for a tractor is got to be one of the most difficult decisions. When you look at any of them new, they are all great in some way. Once again thanks Joe

May I ask if you intend to finance the tractor, or buy outright? Frequently, financing a slightly used tractor can cost more than buying a new one because the manufacturers offer such appealing interest rates. Its been over a year since I was pricing new Kubotas, but if my memory serves me correctly, that tractor new was almost 19. How much is a warranty worth to you? If the 3030 you are looking at is in Wells, or there about....... I would offer a bit less. The seller is a back-yard tractor dealer and always has tractors and implements for sale on CL. Knowing he bought it to re-sell means there is room to move on the price.

With all that said, a step up to a 3030 from a 75 - 7610 is a fair jump. Somewhat comparing apples to oranges. If the prices of what you are looking at are similar, I'd certainly be all over a 3030.

That is a decent price for a slightly used B3030 but you should probably compare it to new prices as several manufacturers have pretty big discounts via free loader or cheap financing deals these days.

wow thanks for the information about the cl Yep I saw it there plus in the paper. I will consider it. I intend to go to the local kubota dealer tomorrow to see what they can do for me. and then I am headed over to the green dealer and then finally the blue dealer. I would like to look a t a Massey but no one who owns one. Any thoughts on a Massey Thanks Joe

Blue,yellow and green are all good machines. Having owned a 3030 myself, i can tell you from experience, its an awesome machine. I dont think there is any tractor in its class, that gives you so many nice features.

Check out the Kioti CK35 too. Compared to the B3030 it has more weight, stronger loader, more HP, same deluxe features, longer warranty and a lower price especially with Kioti's current "free loader" program. B3030 wins as a mower with it's light weight and MMM but the CK compares very favorably in every other category.

I would add kioti to the list of very fine cuts. I was unaware that the ck 35 included all the bells and whistles. A no charge fel is a beautiful thing.
