What is my broken B20 worth?

[Burton]

I just bought this tractor not long ago. It reads 805 hrs and has a TL420 loader + backhoe. The rearend is grinding and will prob need a rebuild to work as a package ($3,500 if parts are avail??) Backhoe and loader are in good working condition, no problems with engine.

So if I sell it as it is, what would it be worth?

What did you sell it for, so others will know what a broken B20 goes for.

I intentionally left that out b/c I was butthurt no one offered advice. I guess there ain't no point in being butthurt.

So I sold it for $4,500. I put it on craigslist and had cash in my hand within 3 hours. I could have sold it for more. I should have sold it for more, but I was PO'd that I knew I was going to lose money on it b/c I had a crappy experience with the Kubota dealer that worked on it. It is my opinion that they ran it without oil and ruined it. There's more to this story, but my bill said they added 1.7 gallons of oil and it was empty when they delivered it to me.

The true value?? Maybe the engine was worth $2000 the backhoe was $2,500 and the loader was $2,000. As a broken package, it was probably worth $5,000 to $5,500.

It is real hard to put value on a broken unit, I personally didn't catch this post or I would have commented.

It's also real sad when dealers do dumb things, I bought my L3450 from a guy that took it to a dealer and they busted the entire transmission (physically broke it into several pieces ), I picked it up for way cheaper than it should have sold for.
