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
-
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

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 ::)

Not a problem, if you need anymore help on costings just pm me.

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.
-
Hi far2complicated - have pm'd you. :thumbsup:
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 :o
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 :eyelashes:
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 :thumbsup:
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

This is the closest I can find on the interwebs...

... No attachments tho', apart from the weights.

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 :thumbsup:

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!!
-
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 ?

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 :roflanim: :roflanim: :roflanim:

Looks great and with that mileage worth every penny. But your roof trusses might make the wife happier!!

I try and take some piccies of them tomorrow :thumbsup:

Hi,
Have you sold you tractor? Mine is dying the death :'(
Let me know
Thanks

Hi Fortuna - have pm'd you. Someone else on the forum has first dibs on it but in any case I shall need to keep it until just before I leave, and as the house is not properly on the market yet it may be some time.
Many thanks
Sue
