                Posted - 05/01/2008 : 09:29:39  I've seen (on ebay and other ads;  none in person) so few, I've given up on finding one for my original target price of $1500; 
  do you think $2500 - 3000 is reasonable value given: 
   a. it is on a bolens ht23, so at least the subframe and hydro pump is wrong for a 9020  ( for a 9020, I don't even know where the pump mounts)
   B.  "Well used, pins loose, no cylinder leaks nor rust, hoses ok"
   c.  "works good with good power"
  I'm trying to decide if I even want to go loook at it ( 3hr drive 1 way, but i like to drive, even with these gas prices).  How disappointed can I be?  How much work to adapt?
   For 6k, maybe I should just buy and use as is the bolens, FEL, and hoe?
  Please, let know what you think.

                Posted - 05/01/2008 : 19:07:56  I agree with Dan on needing a picture.  I will say that if I bought a tractor with a backhoe and resold it later, it seems tractors seem to hold their value very well.  Good luck and yes show us a picture.

Heck, for that money you can buy a well used but functional full size backhoe w/loader. But it's YOUR decision.  What's too high to others might make you perfectly happy & that is the bottom line....what YOU want to do.  Make danged sure you take a digital camera though...we want pics either way!   |
