Trading up

[vrman]

Hey guys! Need some clarity here. (sorry for the double post, I thought I was in the Kubota forum the first time I posted!)

The Kubota Dealership near me had a sales event a week ago. I have been eyeing up the B3200. I have to admit I am always amazed at what my little BX23 does, but I have been needing something with a little more power for ripping bushes out and general loader use. I figured if I trade both my units in, I could afford the larger tractor.
Currently (see sig) I have a BX23 with the mid mount mower, backhoe, and loader. I've added all kinds of stuff like the skid plates, trencher/ripper and mechanical thumb from Bro-tek, and some teeth for the loader. I also have a Z326p zero turn mower. Both units have less than 250hrs. Dealer is offering me 10k on the BX23 setup and 7k on the Z326p. Does this sound about the right price range for those?

The B3200 with loader, backhoe and mower is going to run me about 28.5k.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!!

A BX23 loaded with extras, just 250hrs for 10K seems alittle low to me. I traded a B3200 TLB up to a MX4700TLB for 18K extra. your loosing both mowers for one as well, see if they can throw in some extras like a thumb, or loaded tires,maybe even a 4' box blade..

Everyone has an opinion about pricing and usually it's based on their deal. I don't have one usually because I just ask Barlows how much to trade, they do it every day, have what I want and will take to sell what I have. If I feel I'm not getting quite enough for what I'm trading in I sell it (Done 1 time out of 15 purchases) and then buy what I want from them.
It looks like I'm going to recommend you contact Barlows, who deliver all over the country, how they will trade you and then you'll know for certain if your dealer is giving you a fair price on your trade and your purchase.
Some people want to sell their used equipment and some times it may save them a few hundred dollars and knowing what you can get for sure trade in can help you price it and feel good about your price. Just one mans free opinion which may be worth what it cost you.
