I'm already kicking myself. I should have bought that Grand L3560 cab with loader and rear snowblower for $50,000 before covid. It's $86,000 here now.
Sometimes, timing a buy is just the luck of the draw.
In June of 2019 I decided that I would upgrade from my low hour (near perfect condition) 49 year old Ford TLB to a newer Kubota TLB.
I bought a ( private party) 2006 L48 TLB with only 251 hours, for $32K.
I then sold my 49 year old Ford (1,850 hours) for $9,000.
I really did not need to upgrade, but kinda wanted something newer, if the right one came along.
From comparables on the internet, it appears that my exceptionally low hour L48 TLB now has a nearly $50K value.
It did come to me with all the bells and whistles, that were available at the time of original sale.
