Am looking for a tractor for a small farm, (6 Acres). Have come across a Kubota B2100, 530 hrs. on it, with a 60" beely mower. Good to excellent condition, I'd say it is a 6 or 7 form a scale of 1 to 10. This will be my first tractor purchase. Thet are asking 5,400.00. Does this seem reasonable? Any other helpful hints u could give? I do want to get a front end loader for it. Thanks.

DVS -
Some history first;
Production dates for the B2100 were from 1995 - 1999.
Your potentially looking at a tractor that is between 7 and 11 years old.(give me the serial number, and I can advise as to what year it is)
If it only has 530 hours on it, and it rates a 6 - 7 out of 10, I have to wonder what they did with it to drag the condition down. If it only has a belly mower on it, no loader as you indicate, then the price given is somewhat pricey from my perspective given the descriptive condition.
Consider adding a loader to it, on top of the given purchase price. You can comfortably add another $2700 + to the overall figure. (typically with add-ons, between $3000 - $4000 more with installation. You can save some $ if you are handy with tools)
Other considerations:
What type of tires are on the unit? (Turf, ag, R4 ind.)
Are the rear tires loaded?
What is the tread wear like? This will give you a little bit better idea as to whether or not the hr meter is actual.
Does this unit have other options to it, or a basic model?
Is this unit a gear shift or Hydrostatic drive?
You point out 6/7 out of 10. What is it that you see that draws down the rating in your eyes? (paint, dents, rewelds, leaks, smoke, etc)
I am not trying to scare you from the purchase, rather, just throwing some ideas out at you to ponder.
Where are you located? If close, I know of a beaut 20hp, factory loader, 60 inch belly mower, and new 5 foot rear slider blade forsale, with 700+ original hrs on it....
Email me if you desire
