Im looking to buy a new B3030. I was quoted 21,475 for a new 3030 with loader and FDR1672 6ft rear discharge finish mower.
I currently own a BX 2660 with FEL, and 60 in MMM and its a great machine but i want something a little bigger for the pond digging i do for my wife and her gold fish.
My BX 2660 has 250 hours on it and is in very good condition and they are offering me 9500 as a trade.
I live in kansas and this dealer is also in kansas does this sound like a good deal?
What are some of you seeing in your areas?

What part of Kansas are you in??
I would have put your BX 10 to 15 percent higher...
And that seems a bit much for the B3030 ... I have not priced them in a while but seems a bit much... :)KennyV

Kenny,
Thanks for the input
Im in the north east part of Kansas. Working with Ravenscraft Kubota.
I have seen the BX going for 11500 on tractorhouse, and the other dealers offered between 7000, and 10000. My BX does have 250 hours and is in real good shape with the execption of the paint on the bucket. Normal tractor wear if you use it.
looking on Tractorhouse the 3030 depending on year (2009,2010, 2011) are running between 16500 and up.

You know of anyother dealers in the NE part of kansas? I bought the BX from KEN Equip but they are even higher in price

IMHO: figure out how far you can drive for $1000 in fuel, talk w/all the kubota dealers in 1/2 that distance circle and see if you can get a deal for better than $1000 difference, if so, drive and get your new tractor.
You aren't forced to buy local if they are high priced

Thanks for the advice. This dealer is about 150 miles from my current home now. I did get my BX from the local dealer 20 miles out but all the others are afiliated with them so prices are the same.

What bucket, tires, this a rops unit or cab? as far as trade you will not get retail (tractorhouse) for your unit the dealer has to figure any needed repairs or servicing before he can sell it and he has to make some kind of profit when selling.

As far as the price ROPs unit with R4 tires and a 60" bucket and mower is pretty close.
