Looking to purchase a small Kubota with a bucket - was looking locally at a nice B7100. The owner says it was his fathers - but doesn't know much about it, could not say where it came from?? I did a little homework prior to, educated a bit on the grey tractor sector. So - I arrive, and immediately realized it had been repainted (brush marks - not sprayed), and new Kubota stickers, newer tires. The ID tag on LH side of tranny had a long number with B7100 somewhere on the string. But, whatever writing was on this roughly 4" square metal tag was wiped off . The alarm bell went off when I looked just above this metal tag, and stamped in the transmission case was B7001, again, a long string serial number. The tractor also had no safety bar, and no seat belt. There were some stickers in the engine area that looked original and were written in English. It had 1200h on the hour meter, and he's asking $6000. I basically confronted him that this appeared to me a grey market tractor, I recalled that B7001 was a grey number from the Kubota website - I walked. I think I made the right call on the B7001 piece. This seems to be the floor price for this size in my area of North East - amazing that these 30+ year old machines hold half their value into eternity - even the grey market ones.
