Which would you choose? B7800 or B2920

[iplumb]

I really need some help. I was going to purchase a New B2920 MMM & FELArond $16,500. Then I ran across a friend of a friend that is selling a 05 B-7800 witharound 300 hrs 72" MMM FEL 4' roller back blade and more. ASKING $12,000 seems like a pretty good deal? Can't decide. HELP

I had a B7800 it was a good tractor. I traded it in with about the same hours with no issues.

Had a B7800 for 3 years and it was a great tractor. Looks like it's about the money difference because both should last for years if the B7800 has been properly maintained. They both have near the same HP. The new B will cost you 0% interest for 42 months. There's a $4500 cash difference but if you have to finance either machine or have something else financed that you can pay off then the new may not be that much difference. There should also be some dollar value difference between the 300 hours needing repairs 300 hours sooner if all things are equal. The B3200 I believe is the replacement for the B7800. I now have a B3200 and love it. Again, if your paying cash the difference in money is easy to see. If your financing do the math after determining monthly payments for both machines.

Thanks..I would buy the B7800 outright. And 0% The 2920 well because its 0% What is a GOOD price for the B3200? I haven't even seen one.

Good price on the 7800. Three hundred hours is nothing. It's still new.

The B7800 gets my vote.

I have B7800 that I am happy with but after looking at the new B2920 and B3200 I like them much better:

1. loader arms are much narrower/closer to the tractor body
2. sloped hood and loader arms provide better visibility
3. bigger operator deck
4. integrated backhoe-only 1 seat
5. joystick in a better spot

However, at $12,500 I would grab the used B7800 and be very happy

I also feel that the new 3 speed hydros are quieter, and smoother than the older ones, and I appreciate that. The B7800 is a workhorse though, and you will not go wrong if you go that route either.
