Looking at purchasing an '06 Kubota B7800 with front loader, 800 hrs, no other implements..would $12,500 be a good deal? What wear etc should I be concerned with?

L3450DT-GST, Woods FEL, B7100 HSD, FEL, 60" SB, 743 Bobcat with V2203, and more
Price is in line with most sales of that model.
With 800 hours it shouldn't have much wear on anything.
Check all the levels of fluids, look at tire wear (should be minimal).
check for any odd noises, tractor should move fluidly and smoothly.

I did buy this tractor! (For a good bit less than twelve-5), but now I need a bushhog...want a 5 footer, but manuel says rated at 4'...dealer says it could handle a 5', but I'm wary of overloading tractor...any opinions for me? Thanks
Yes, it's hydrostatic, but concern I have is not exceeding 500 lbs on lift arms... if I'm reading specs right. To stay under that with a 5 footer, I'm not sure I'd be able to get a heavy duty, better made bushhog, with a decent warranty. Looking for weights of units online but can't find em
Dwooddave,
If you look ok at any of the specifications I he weights will be published. Assuming you are interested in a rotary cutter, a Landpride RCF2060 is 620 lbs.

Landpride has a good selection of implements so you should be able to navigate to find other equipment weights.

I have 10-15 acres of overgrown fields, most of which doesn't have a lot of thick sap sprouting YET and I have several old logging trails/roads that have some small tree growth and heavy briars starting back. I'm thinking 4' HD hog for trails and getting worse fields cut down, then being able to handle most of it later with 5' or even 6' finish mower. Probably wouldn't be trying to get over anything thicker than 1"...but who stops and measures
Yes, I have considered renting a piece, but feel like I'll always have a need. But to try size out is a possibility.
