Anyone have a decent idea what a b6000 4x4 with a loader is worth? unknown hours. ownere guessed early 80's but I think they were only until 1977? runs well and looks decent for it's age. 3 pouint hitch. gear drive. only weak point is a little slop in the steering box.

It depends on if you need it. For what's available I'd say 2500. ....

I just figured it was cheap and I'd buy it. I got the guy down to 2600 and offered him $2000. I though t it was a steal at 2,000 but the more I'm seeing it's just a "fair price". I don't need another tractor any more than another hole in my head but I figured I was steeling it if I got it at $2K. ....

The problem with these tractor's area their age or where the tractor's were at at that time of their development. They didn't offer more then armstrong power steering, didn't start like they do today and the hydraulics were lacking to boot! It's not that there might not be a lot of life left in the tractor and that they can't do a job that fit's them. When you look at the sub's which that would actually compare to for it's abilities for a little more you get a lot more. ....

Art, I agree with you 100%. I just figured for $2,000 why not. I'm still trying to get the guy down to $2,000. The problem is around here in CT there are a lot of people that think anything with 4x4 and a loader is worth $4,000 so someone will pay too much for it. I have a bx2200 and know exactly what you mean. My bx is head over heals more of a machine considering the b6000 was probably what my bx is back in 1977. I tried the loader on this old machine and put it undetr the rear corner of my 14' trailer (i was hoping to take it home that day!) it wouldn't lift the corner of the trailer. I then came home and tried it with my bx thinking it was just plain heavy. The BX lifted it off the grouns like a feather and the lift capacity of the bx is only 460#'s. Either the old B has a weak pump on the way out or they were designed for mulch and not much more.
Just figured it's would be a cool old machine to toy around with. Old stuff is fun especially when it runs like it did 30 years ago.
I definity wouldn't replace my BX for this old B even if I got it for free. Just wouldn't come close to doing much more than a good shovel and a wheel barrow. It clearly is what it is. ....
