used b2620

With Kubota's no money down and no intrest on payments why would you want to look used only to save $3500? I believe they are offering Zero down and Zeor intrest for 60 months. Why not got that route and get a brand new tractor with a warrenty.

Don't know what they are paying in the GWN for sales tax but here in TN it's 10%.......so on $10K add $1000......plus any dealer fees.

I bought an 05 Deuce in 04 out of the crate and I put about $2600 in it...chrome.....intake...had it mapped.....2 into 1.......yada yada.

I sold it 1.5 years later and I had to take $2K cash to the sale........yep......I owed $14K and I sold it for $12K.

Moral of the story...........I now buy everything used.

Buy used. Period.

I bought my immaculate 08 B7800 with 350 hrs for $11900. This included a brand new Woods LS84 loader. The equivalent new model is a B3200. With a loader new, that's over $20,000.

O% finance is always a con. The financing is already in the price!

Lets say I'd financed my purchase via Kubota's financing. Currently 5.75% for used equipment. Assuming 5 years I would have paid about $3k in interest.

So I've still saved over $5k not forgetting the greater depreciation on the new tractor. I've saved over $7k

Tractors are no different from cars. Drive a new one off the lot and you are already down $2k.

Three rules for buying anything with wheels: never buy used, never lease and never buy a fixer-upper.

I think he meant to say "never buy new", but the word used was on his brain.
It goes with the rest of the sentence.

I agree- don't be afraid of used. Many of us have bought used tractors, with excellent experiences. If it fits your budget, give it a hard look.
As far as position control- it is nice, but you can function fine without it. Especially having no experience with either method, it is just a matter of learning the tractor. If you hadn't read posts to the contrary, you wouldn't know that there was a difference. My B7100 doesn't have position control, and I am used to tractors that do. It was just a matter of adapting to what it is. I can mow, grade, till, whatever fine. I know how to operate the 3 point, and put it at the level that I want to. It isn't a matter of not being able to do it, it's a matter of developing the skill. So, now that you know there are two ways (position or non-position), try both out on the tractors you are looking at. Chances are, you will prefer the position control; anybody would. But, myself, I wouldn't overlook other things about the tractor that I didn't like, just to get position control; I would look at the tractor as a whole, determine which one fit me the best overall, and then weigh in the 3 point. I can live without position control, which I do, when other factors are more important. For me, I liked the simplicity and capability of the B7100, and the price was fantastic; it was an easy sacrifice, and I wouldn't have passed it over, if I had the chance to do it over again. For the sacrifice of position control, I got an extremely clean, low hour, garage kept, one owner, meticuously maintained 4WD diesel tractor with a woods mower for less than what my dad paid for a JD rider.
Only you can decide what works best for you.

Politely offering that the above advice depends on your perspective.

Others have given this advice along the way:
Buying a used tractor is often just buying somebody else's problem.

We bought a new tractor in 2011 and I have absolutely no regrets.
The depreciation that happens as you drive it off the lot is only important if you have in mind to sell it sometime; I do not.

I wouldn't worry about the absence of position control, particularly for the tasks you outlined (bush hogging, tilling). The quarter-inching valve is not all bad in my opinion.

Whether the smaller BX2670 is a good choice or not is a tough call.
Some of the common wisdom goes along the lines of "buy the biggest tractor you can afford". If ground clearance on the 8 acres is not an issue, then the difference between a smaller and larger tractor might just be a matter of time:
It will just take you a little longer to do things with the smaller tractor.

Good luck!
