What is a fair price for a JD 445

[LakeRat]

I was thinking about selling my JD 445 Lawn Tractor, I have the mower deck, wheel weights, extra weights off the rear, as well as a front end loader.

I have just over 500 hours, Kawasaki engine, bought new in 2000, always garaged

Please advise, what this is worth or what I should expect to receive

Thanks
Rich

There is a data-base for equipment prices, could probably find it with a Google search.
From seeing other ads and classifieds, I'd guesstimate in the $5000 to $6000 range without the loader. Probably $7500+ with the loader and all.
Someone on the MU site recently purchased a 445, maybe check that out too for reference.

That was likely me gunmaker is referring to. It was my son who made the purchase and it was a 2002 455, Yanmar diesel, 54" deck. Less than 300 hrs was a trade-in on a zero-turn machine. Paid $5,100 and machine was located in Iowa. He did a lot of looking and sim machine ranged from $5k to $7k
