B3200

[LandHoarder]

I’m looking at purchasing a 2010 B3200 with 400 hours on it. I was wondering what thoughts are on this model tractor and pricing? Has 60 mid mount and grill guard, and ROPS. Appears to be in great condition. Asking $12,500. Thanks for any and all info.

B3200 were and are good models with very few issues, parts are readily available.
The price sound good.

I have to disagree with NIW, on the price. I'm sure it's a great machine tho.
In my opinion, it seems like alot of money for a 9yr old machine, without a FEL. Really, without a FEL, it's just an expensive oversized lawn mower.
You can get machines all day long with a FEL, and mid mount mower for that price. Or machines in the same size range, with just a mid mount mower, for substantially less. Maybe not exactly a B3200 or 32-33hp, but again, with just a mid mount mower, it's really just a lawn mower and there's tons of other machines that will accomplish the same thing for alot less money, or have more features (FEL) for the same money.

I guess it depends on how you look at it.

For prices I go by what i can research online, (tractorhouse.com) as for prices in my neck of the woods, any tractor in that HP range and 4WD would go for about 15k without a FEL.

I'm not saying your wrong, I guess it just depends on location and availability.

I agree.
He's in TN, there's machine everywhere, within 3-4hrs of any part of TN. $12,500 cash will buy alot more machine, than one with just a mid mount mower. Around the Midwest, from all the searching I had done in the last year when I was shopping, 12,5 is 25-30hp territory, with a FEL and possibly more. Kubotas were always the most expensive in apples to apples.
If it was me, I would pass on that one, and expect to get more for my money. O

You will not find a decent 25-30 HP FWA Kubota (or JD, MF, (you pick one) CUT) with FEL for anything close to $12,500 in my MW area.

Took just 5 minutes to find those, on one website. I didn't even look through the Kubota, or any other manufacturers listings. Add in private sales where cash really talks, like from Craigslist, and Facebook marketplace, and you'll find even more.
GOOD machines with FEL's are all over, for the 12,5 mark.

Had to go back and look through a couple Kubota models....

There's more, just keep looking

Bought my 2012, B3200 with just over a 100 hours on it in 2013 with a FEL and front mounted snowblower and Curtis Cab with heat,for $17,500 sight unseen. Had a buddy look it over, he "BUY IT NOW!", I did over the phone. The dealer said I've never done this before, I said me either. It's only Money

I would have done the same. Sounds like a smokin deal.

The best money I have ever spent. It's just an awesome machine.

I'll give you credit for the B3200 with 467 hours and FEL in WI (not really my area of the MW) but not the others for various reasons.

I'm not that good at admitting things either. Hard to argue that they aren't decent machines, at decent prices.

Hate to burst your bubble, but those aren’t exactly comparable deals. Sure they are the same model, with mower and loader, but the have between 1-2,000 more hours on them. That’s a lot of difference in value right there no matter how you look at it. All you basically end up with is a free loader on a machine that has way more wear on it than the 400 hour machine that the OP is looking at. That means the mower decks on them could be well worn and so on. You can search all day long on the interweb and find smoking prices, but that doesn’t automatically make them better deals in the long run. OP, for a B3200 with 400 hours and a mower deck, that is a good price for my area.

I admit to misreading the OPs post. I thought he was looking for a tractor with FEL rather than MMM, and assumed that he wanted at least 25 PTO HP since he was asking about a B3200.

[SRG]

No bubbles to burst. Wasn't trying to compare machines to the B3200, just comparing prices, attachments and horsepower, for the dollar being spent. You can get more than just a MMM, for 12,500. To which I provided some examples. I also provided caveats on how to get more for your money... "It might not be 32hp, it might not be a Kubota, it might not be a 2010, it might have more than 400hrs". Logically, those are all easy hurdles to jump, at least in my eyes. Say you don't need a FEL, no problem. But why spend 12,5 on a 32hp machine when I can get a 30hp machine with the same feature (MMM), and basically the same hours, for $3550 less and only lose out on 2hp? That's a huge savings.

BAP, I re-edited my posts showing the hours of all machines I linked to. Maybe go back and have a look?
I think the majority of the machines I posted are all within a reasonably low hour range, especially when you take into consideration the price. On top of that, who's to say that 400hr B3200 isn't worn out from neglect? You or I can't say for certain. It's the used market, it's all a gamble. So why over pay?

I'm just trying to offer a different perspective.

 

[D2Cat]

Just as an indicator of possible hours from a tractor.

Needs work!!!! 2004 kubota m110 starts runs good has reverse gears but drives about 10 ft in forward then kicks into neutral! 10,400 hrs runs nice and heater and radio work, good Firestone***8217;s all around! $11,900 FIRM as is call or text me 620:38:2:6:8:04

Maybe I need to delete the phone number. I don't encourage Flip getting another tractor!!

 

[shootem604]

That's a lot of hours per year - more than hobby farm use!

 

[LandHoarder]

I guess I should have been a little more specific in why I’m looking at this one. Where I live has some steep hills that I mow. I’m currently mowing it with an OLD worn out 2wd John Deere 1250 with a 3pt 7’ finish mower. I was thinking that a 30 to 40 hp 4wd tractor with a mid mount mower might be safer and easier to maneuver on these hills. The 1250 has a loader on it, so having a loader on the one with the MMM is not a must but if the price is right, I wouldn’t mind having a loader with it. Prefer to have a lager 4wd tractor with loader along with the tractor with a MMM. Thanks again for any and all info
