SELLING YM2500

Travis_R · Jul 20, 2007

What would be a fair price to someone for my YM2500 and 5' King Kutter bush hog (about 2 years old)? The tractor has 905 hours on the working meter. It is a UTDA Certified tractor. I also have the Operator's manual, (2) Service Manuals, and a Parts manual, along with an extra Genuine Yanmar engine oil filter, and (4) 50 lb ea front suitcase weights all to go with the tractor. Both the tractor and cutter are what I call in very near excellent condition.

I know about what I am asking, but just wanted to make sure.

I am going to buy a New 42-54 hp Mahindra. I got a new job and am off on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am going to make money on my time off, bush hogging and other tractor work.

Thanks,
Travis R

Travis, you go through tractors like my 2 yr old goes through diapers! Hope you get what you want out of it.

Hey Trav-eye, didn't you get rid of a Mahindra in that range when you bought the yannie???

Travis_R · Jul 25, 2007

Yes I did, but I didn't know I was getting this new job as to where I am off every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I got to get a bigger tractor to do side work. The Yanmar is too small/light.
If I had known that I was getting this new job, the Mahindra would have Never left. I can promise you that. I would be taking a a huge loss, but I'd take $6200 for everything......I have found a used Massey Ferguson and a used Mahindra I am looking at.

There's a good looking massey 135 in magnolia, MS for sell. I'll get the number if you are interested. Where are you in South LA?

I think ole Trav is looking for something bigger. But just curious what a 135 brings down in MS? I sold one recently as it was too big for my needs. I had the perkins 3 cyl gas.

Thanks.

I am 20 miles east of Baton Rouge. I am near Livingston. I don't think i'd be interested in a 135. That is too old of a tractor and I am looking for a little bigger one. Thanks anyway. Are there any MF 231 tractors for sale in Mississippi thats not too far out of my State? I'd be willing to drive 3 hours or so if I got a good deal on a 231 OR a 231S.

thanks,
Travis

SOLD. The Yanmar YM2500 and 5' Sitrex finishing mower is gone. A good thing is that it isn't but about 3 miles from my house. When the man is cutting his grass, I can stop and see it sometimes. I still have a 5' King Kutter bush hog for sale if anyone is interested. The tractor i'm buying is gonna be able to handle a 6 footer.
