Used too little?

[racer34v]

I found a L3700SU only 30 miles from me that I am going to look at Monday,

Its a hydro and comes with a FEL . I'm not sure which loader yet can't make out the model in the photos.

The question being its a 2010 and only has 22 hours on it.

He has it listed @ 18k , which is about 4k savings off list on a new l38 with FEL

What should I look for when kicking the tires tomorrow?

Also i was thinking about going in with a 15k offer if all seems well, Too low?




Thanks in advance.

Check the 3pt hitch. Mine jerks really bad. After 25 hours... I can't imagine there is much wear on it. It prolly has the 4 series loader. Skid steer attach is once if it has it. All in all, a nice tractor. I bought mine new, TLB, thumb, loaded rears and ssa bucket for 26k ish.

Thanks for the info Tom. Sorry for the double post.

Do you have r4 or r1 tires? I'm on the fence with the pros/ cons of each

has the tractor been kept out in the elements or in a shop???

Racer, I bought mine in 2010 as well, same configuration, but with a mower, boxblade, landscape rake, metal sunshade and Kubota Ins for $20K. I havent used mine for much more than mowing and some woods clearing and have only been able to put about 65 hours on it so far. They seem to hold their value well as evidenced by his asking price of $18K. You can probably get it for less, but I think $15K is probably a bit low. I think from a buyers perspective it is a great starting point.

Put something heavy on the TPH and try to lift it slowly. This seems to be the best jerky test.

Just looking at some old paperwork. I priced a new 2012 L3800DT 4WD, on 4/30/12. A DT is a gear trans, so it's $1200 less than a HST. It had Ag tires, LA524 loader W/a QA 66in bucket, and L8430 3pt stabilizers.
The price W/O tax was $18,009.
