Just asking for opinions. And I know how that goes. But I am wanting to upgrade to a bit larger tractor with 4 wheel drive and also a loader. I will need to move this one prior to aquiring another. This one still does exactly what I own it for, but I now have need for a larger unit and do not wish to push the limits of this one.
What I have is a barn kept, 86-88 L2000 Kubota, 3cyl diesel, With 4 year old Bushhog 1846QT Loader bought and installed new by me.Loader was factory powder coated to match Kubota ($2800 new) NO other implements would be included. Tractor has about 1200 hours. I am the 2nd stateside owner (gray model), Previous owner used it only to cut grass with a 60" estate cutter. I myself have basically done the same. Though I do own other impliments that rarely if ever are used. I added the loader for moving mulch,sand and gravel (landscaping items) around our place. The loader has maybe 20-40 hours of total usage. I have owned the tractor since 2000. Its been fully serviced every spring whether needed or not with an avg of about 15-40 hours of use between services.(oil-Delo 400 15w40,Oil Filter, fuel filter,air filter, and occasional valve clearance checks. Coolant every other year) Previous owner showed me records where he did the same. The only major service item was me rebuilding the water pump 1 year after aquiring, which at that time included all new hoses,Belt,thermostat and rad cap. Hydraulic fluid was drained and refilled when I added the loader. Turf tires on rear with 75% tread. Both front 3-bar tires new within last two years.Still looks great but could use some light touch up paint work here and there, and has one head lamp blown. No leaks. Runs like new.
Any places I could compare values would be appreciated as well.
