L3250DT w/ backhoe what’s a fair price?

[Underhilltractor]

Looking at a 1990 L3250DT with 1800hrs and hardy 8st backhoe. Been the same owner for 20 years, guy with a big back yard. Well taken care of and fairly new tires. Their asking for 17k but that feels pretty high. Curious what y’all think. Thanks.

 

[old and tired]

Used backhoe about $5k; old Grand L tractor about $12k; would sell down here in a heart beat... well taken care of is the icing on the cake.

I assume it's manual? Offer him $15,500...

Thanks for your response. Theres a leak in one of the front hydraulic pistons, but he has the part for it. Not sure if that would move the price, says he doesnt want to go lower than 16k on it.

Its an 8 speed mechanical shuttle.

Leaking cylinder up front - as in a loader? If you have to start out fixing it on day one consider that a sign of things to come. It's 35 years old....

Yeah, the loader. ....Good point.

A full service hydraulics shop can likely fix most anything on the loader.
Different situation though, with parts availability for a 35 year old tractor.
