Hi All - Now I am on my own I have decided my house is far too large for me and I intend to move on.  As it is such a "one-off" type place the chances of me finding something I like at the same time as I sell are so remote that I am selling pretty well everything, then start afresh later if I decide I want to


In 2004 I bought a brand new (wonderful) Kubota Sta-30.  It has been absolutely brilliant for jobs round my place, though it has been thoroughly spoiled and spent the vast percentage of its life in my garage -  just checked today and there are 270 hours on the clock, a lot of which would have been spent idling as the gardener I had was used to the old diesels and once he had started it just kept in running.  It has been mainly used as a garden tractor and is fitted with lawn tyres.  It is in EXCELLENT condition - as they say "one careful lady owner"


It has a 4 in 1 front end loader which is incredibly useful and easy to operate, and there are various implements  as well. 


Does anyone have any idea what this might be worth

What you paid for it if not more
regards bb

[smudger]

why not ask some local agri dealers to come and price it?

Does it have a cab? without any extras but including loader £7-8k + vat

please bear in mind the price quoted is full retail.

[darkbrowneggs]

Thanks all for the input.  The current thinking is to have a house/farm sale here, though others have suggested ebay.  Still thinking, but so much on the go at present my head is spinning.


Yes I will be parting with the chickens.  First off I have been contacting those who had already approached me for stock.  Though as everything has been up in the air here I am really not sure how the numbers stack up at present. 


If there is spare stock I will post it in "marketplace"  But I don't want to find I am letting people down if theres not enough to go round.  Last week was very busy as we buried Mums ashes on Thurs which would have been her birthday plus I had a luncheon for 30 as a Celebration of Life for her on the Sunday, then got stung by a wasp or possibly a hornet at the lunch and ended up in A&E most of Sunday and Monday.


Will keep you posted

Hello all, new to the site, just stumbled upon this looking for a Kubota sta30 for sale! Dark Brown Eggs - if you think of a price let me know, its what i'm after.

[darkbrowneggs]

Hi far2complicated - have pm'd you.   


Perhaps I ought to say I also have for sale a wonderful Jaguar XK8  first taxed in 2001 with personalised number plate  with only about 12500 miles on the clock, and with a specially made cover.  It has been sorned for the last 3 or 4 years     


Its an absolute stunner, and again one careful lady owner.  I am about to get it MOT'd and taxed ready for marketing. 


~~~~~~~~~~~


With luck I shall sell all my stuff before I need to do an on site auction 


Going back to the tractor - there is a brilliant topper, post hole borer, pallet mover, counterweight, wood splitter, and something else I can't quite bring to mind at present.  Nearly all have only been used half a dozen times if that 


Oh and it looks as though there are some dark brown egg laying Marans to spare.  Unsexed chicks at £5 each or once I can tell pullets from males £10 each and some really good Welsummers, which are a bit older at £15.  Plus top quality Cream Legbars - my strain are excellent layers of good coloured blue eggs

Have to say that looks an incredible bargain, I wouldn't sell mine for that, and although it has done more hours than mine it looks in excellent condition.  I know a couple of folk on here have expressed and interest in mine, and I think I would have to tell them to try and grab that one if they can


I will not be able to part with mine until the house and property are actually sold, and mine does have a 4in1 bucket and front endloader which costs around £4500 but even so that looks a real bargain

Where abouts are you?


I would love the XK8 is it really is an Aston Martin in disguise. However I am not sure wife and baby would approve!!

[AndynJ]

Can you update us please,
 
1) around what price do you want for the Kubota I can wait as it will be a replacement but if you want silly money I'll buy one elsewhere.
2) where abouts are you ?

[darkbrowneggs]

Yes - it really is a fabulous design.  Apparently the guy who designed the Aston did the XK8 also, and having seen them both together they really both look stunning, if anything it felt a bit more spacious in mine.  Also I think the metallic silver with the alloy wheels looks the best of any colour I have seen. 


It was a lovely car to own and drive, but these last few years with Mum to look after I rarely got out of the house other that a quick dash to "lidl" 


Its been sorned for the last few years.  It really would be a good car for someone, as my brother said, its just about run in at that mileage!!!


Its been mot'd now and I just put it on the internet, though I haven't really started advertizing it yet, the only reason I put in on that site was I was looking for Motorhomes
