What is a D -15 series 2 factory 3ph comes with a grader blade and a bushog worth. I have a guy down the road wanting to make a trade for my 185 with less than 5000 original hours on it. I am familiar with the D-15 way back in the 80's is was used by his father in law to put out a garden and mow around the farm, he rented all the crop land out. He bought it at the estate auction about 4 years ago.

Around here, $3000-3500 for the tractor, depending on condition, maybe a grand more for the implements. Buyer beware...

I have known this guy all my life, I coached his kids when they were in grade school, and he only bought it because he was running up the bid at the auction and the other guy backed out. He does have a load of AC tractors, just did not want this one. I may drive over to his place and drive it, last time I drove that tractor was back in 1984.

I would say run and get it unless you need a small tractor.
Edit- Sorry I read that wrong! LOL. I think a 185 should be worth a lot more than a D15 to clarify. I would love to have a 185 even tho I don't really need it. D15 is a great tractor as well. I think a 185 in good shape would bring $9-10 k up here but maybe those in the know will chime in. Edited by Ed (Ont) - 27 Dec 2023 at 7:28pm |

I grew up on a D-15 series 2 and it was our work horse baled close to 80,000 bales a year custom baling hay. Second I don't need the HP of a 185 anymore retired a year ago and stopped raising 45 acres of tobacco back in 1999 but kept the tractor because it is a great tractor and a Kubota new would cost me 35,000 and I figure I could get 6,500 to 8,000 for it around here. My area has mostly been green and red.

Don't sell yourself short, ask yourself do you need the equipment coming with the other tractor or is it in better shape than the equipment you have. I'm partial to the 185 as that's what my brother and I learned on. Is the grill on your 185 still in its original form or has it had the 3 rib modification, just curious on that part

Sometimes people want more $$$ because someone told them its worth a lot of money . What is a lot of money ??? . Or just put a price out there what you feel it's worth to you to have it around .Any pictures ,tires condition ,paint ,fenders rusted at mounts etc.

Unless the D15 is in pristine condition and the 185's a wreck, I wouldn't even consider it. True, you may not need the HP of the 185 anymore, but the 185 still a newer, more valuable/comfortable/useful tractor.
What are you really getting out of it by swapping for the D15? Do you need the bush hog or blade that badly? I may be reading the situation wrong, but the guy sounds like he's trying to scam you out of a much more valuable tractor. Around here you should be able to buy two of those D15 and implement setups for the value of a low-hour 185. He got stuck with the D15 trying to run it up more than its worth at the auction, and now needs to unload it. I may be a little biased; I've always despised people who run up their equipment at auctions. Maybe back in the day when auctions were poorly advertised and you wouldn't get great turnouts it might have been acceptable, but these days auctions are well enough advertised that anyone in the area who wanted and knows the value a D15 would have attended. If he got stuck with it when he was running up the price, it's because he thought it was worth more than it actually is. Let him live with his own foolishness. Now if you really want a D15 because you have an attachment to that model, or that particular tractor, that's a different story. But I wouldn't be trading a 185 as a direct swap. I'd think you should be able to sell the 185, pick up a really tight D15 and implements, and still have at least a couple of grand left over.

So you get a D15 2 w 3 pt & 2 implements and how many thousand dollars for your 185?
Just offer him a decent price for his and add it to your stable of equipment.
IMHO, He'd better have 6K to 8K dollars if the 185 will start and move at all. Look at some recent online tractor sales results, 60 - 100 hp tractors are selling high. |
