Hello all.
I am new to the forum. I am looking at a 1995 B6200HST Kubota with a 1640A Loader and a 48" finish mower and both sets of wheels and tires. That is AG and Turf.
The dealer is asking $6200 with the mower, $5800 without. It has about 900 hours and is in very good condition. Is this a fair price and can power steering be added to this tractor and is it worth it?
Thanks in advance for your help and advice.
Mike.

You would virtually have to make a power steering system for that tractor. The one from the factory was borderline for Kubota. ....

By that I assume you mean it did not work very well?

You did well Mike! They didn't turn that bad compared to the rest of the industry at that time as most all were built that way but some adaptions didn't help to much. It's amazing even with power steering the differences. Some you can turn with a finger lock to lock with a full bucket in the air and some will still take a good grasp to turn. ....

Thanks again for your quick reply.
You seem to be very familiar with this model. I see I can add after market power steering for around $1000. Are you familiar with aftermaket units and how well they work?
Do you think this was a good unit and would you hazard a guess on a price? They are asking $5850 without mower and $6200 with a good 4' 3 point finish mower.
It is in very good condition, or seems to be. It has aoubt 900 hours. It is a hydrostat. I think I forgot to mention that on my first post.

Mike -
If you have found this unit to be in as good a shape as you have described, it is a very good deal ~ that is with all the extras coming with it (loader, double tire sets, mower, etc)
These older units were not equipped with a four place hour meter as the newer ones are, so is it 900 or 1900 hours? One really can not be sure other than a concientious guess.
The power steering on these older units really should have been called power assist. They did/do not compare with what is known as power steering. In all honesty, so long as you have sufficient counterweight on the 3pt, even with a loaded bucket it will be reasonably easy to steer, so long as you are rolling. I have two B5200's ~ neither with power steering, but easy to steer with 3pt ballast. That being said, I actually have a tendancy to chew up the lawn more with the newer units WITH power steering than the older units without.
