Price Check Won Bid on B3200HST was it a good deal?

[tad84pole]

I've been looking for a tractor for about 3months and been lurking on this forum as long. This morning I bid online for a 2010 B3200HST tractor with 383hrs on the meter with the factory FEL. I bid $10500 and surprisingly won, Tax and auction fees make the price about $12,600. The thing hardly has any paint scratched off the bucket. If it is as good as I hope it is--is this a good deal??

Thanks for your input,

Sounds good, of course you don't know how it was treated/maintained but the good appearance bodes well.. Look at the hydraulic and the hydrostat filters, and if they are grey (original) get them off and that fluid changed ASAP. Good idea to do all fluid services anyway.. But price. yeah that sounds pretty good.. does it have the SSQA bucket? that would add some extra value, sometimes called quick attach bucket. Good luck with your new machine.

Sounds like you found you a well cared for new like tractor. Some just do not use the FEL very much. Know you are excited.

Tractor prices will heat up with the weather and now is a better time to buy than sell.

It doesn't have the quick attach bucket unfortunately. Yes, I am excited--now I just have to pay for it and figure out how to get it 30miles home. LOL. Thanks for your responses.

Sounds like a good deal! Your HAPPY! :thumbsup:

Where are you located, someone might be close to you that could haul it for you!

Oh yeah, this is my 1st tractor and I am pretty exited about it. I live in Rescue CA, Northern Calif. I have a couple of possible people who will help me out in hauling it, but I won't see them until Monday. I appreciate the offer of help. This is a great group of guys. Thanks

Congrats on the purchase tadpole!

As a first time purchaser on TBN I must warn you of the rules... If there's no pictures, it didn't happen, so when you finally drag it home, be sure to upload some pics!:thumbsup:

:welcome: to TBN! Glad to have you aboard! It sounds like you got a great deal, I defiantly would check out all the fluids, hydraulic, engine oil, coolant, and front axle oil level. The first thing I did when I got my Deere was changed the oil and most of the filters as well as checked all of the fluid levels. :2cents: I also would highly recommend making up a service chart so you can check off when filters/fluids were changed along with the hours and the date so you can keep track of when maintenance is performed.

Awe don't scare the guy. The B's with 1/4" valve don't have that problem.
