Asking for ballpark ideas on a price

[kpinnc 14,652]

Back in January, one of our NC members passed away. Lance (@Red Horse) wasn't overly active here, but was a member since 2008. His family asked me to help them move two tractors: a 308-8 and a 312-8. 

 

I normally don't ask these questions, as not one tractor I've ever had was in decent shape when I got it. I know both these machines were well kept indoors for more than 15 years. They were maintained properly and not abused while Lance had them. He was a stickler for keeping his machines clean, serviced, and working. Neither have any leaks or issues that I am aware of, and run great. 

 

So if you don't mind, just tell me what you think is a ballpark for these two separate or together. I will be listing them here and locally once I know what is fair for them. I have an idea, but wanted you folks to help me verify what they might bring. 

 

So far as I know, only the 312-8 has a deck. The 308-8 has a 40 inch grader on it.

Is that the mid mount or the rear axle mount?

Mid mount.

In decent condition that's worth $300 - $450 alone.

I've noticed prices vary a lot based on location. I see the highest prices in the NE. The best prices seem to be down south. I'm in Indiana and you'd probably see the 312 w/deck listed for $500 -$700. the 308 would probably for $400 - $600 without the grader blade. Not sure what the grader blade would bring because I've never been able to find one for sale around here. Given the condition of those two tractors, my estimates may be a couple hundred low.

suggest you sell the mid mount belly grader blade separately - i have sold 2 in the past 2 yrs -- each earned $400 - - i do not believe you can produce that at maximum "value add" if you tie it to one of those tractors  --- i suggest you sell the tractor without an attachment and the grader blade as a stand alone......... and the deck with either of the tractors............ Hard to tell from photos but the deck looks like a 37 s.d. -- This past summer I sold a very good rehabbed 37" for 375 - - not sure what your market supply/demand is...... but if the deck is in high quality condition ( no rust through holes, no weld patches, been stored indoors, etc ) .... then I suggest you account for that good deck value since many decks being sold are in generally poor condition so consider the deck condition as a real "value plus" to help sell the tractor and marry to the tractor price accordingly.
