L245 value?

[Gunpilot]

New to the forum.

Attempting to help a family member. Seeking estimates of value for a one owner 2WD L245 (<2000 total hours), well maintained, approximate 1980 model. Just looking for market value estimates so we can price it correctly for sale.

Appreciate any insights from the group.
thanks.

Does anything come with it? No mower? No blade?.......

straight up tractor...........I think I would place it on the market at 4K or higher......and if you get offers close to it ....consider taking it.

Being 2wd will hurt the sale of it. But being in good shape.....will help.

Thank you,

It may or may not have some attachments included,,,, all depends on individual sales. All the implements are standard 3-point hitch items not Kubota brand pieces. Any idea what typical hours for these tractors might be? What's considered high, low, average per year?

thanks again for the reply.

I would say anything under 500 hours is barely broken in
something like 1000-2000 hours would be in the used tractor market
3000 hours would be a well used but very good tractor.
All depends on HOW the machine was taken care of too - and this is where the real piece of the puzzle needs to be looked at Oil changes, filters ....etc

Most of us NON farmer people probably place 100 - 300 hours a year, some less. IF you are going to use it daily - expect to place 1000 hours + a year.

Thanks again 85Hokie,

1965 hours in 37 years, always well maintained and serviced according to Kubota schedules, stored under cover, one owner. Primarily used for light mowing duties (with a rear finishing mower initially, then a bush hog rotary in past decade), within the first decade it served additional duty in a ½ acre garden plot too. It does have some light fender damage on both rear fenders, I'm not sure how or what caused it. Otherwise, appearance wise it is typical of what you might expect the vintage paint and decals to look like after this many years. Oh, the tires are original too, but look to have many years of service remaining.

I appreciate your input. From what I'm gathering we should reasonably expect it to sell for around $4000.
