Described as
Kubota HST 1400 Lawn Tractor–1996:
In very good condition
Kubota LT 14 hp
40" cut in great condition
1996 model last year made!
Has Twin bagger system!
New tranny belt
$1250

I would say it is over priced. At 25+ years old going price for that model is $400-$600 Bagger would only add about $100. They were a great unit in its day, but I would only pay a max of $600, knowing that it may come back to bite me.

In comparison, what else have you found that is comparable for $ 1250?

Here‘s why I say overpriced. https://www.tractorhouse.com/listin...a/t1400/riding-lawn-mowers-outdoor-power/1170

thanks for the comparison Rivets. Around here this would compare to a newer TroyBuilt or a slightly less new John Deer. Thoughts on those?
Thanks

Outrageously high

This may indeed be too high, but as a rule I will always ratner have a good used older model, than the newer stuff they put out now. I have a G2000 with a 60” deck, and a F2560 with a 72” deck. Both about 25 yrs old. Just comparing the decks alone to newer decks is impressive.

Look it over . If it has been properly cared for , and used on a residence , with the bagging system . I would say it is worth haggling with the seller . You didn't mention if it has an hour meter or not . If it does , I'd want it to be 500 Hrs. or less . They are easily a 1,000 to 1500 Hr. machine , with proper maintainence , and use !

oh ive got sources i can hook you up for 1000

Many parts are no longer available for the T1400. I would pass on it. If you just have to have it, $100 tops knowing you'll have a hard time getting repair parts for it.
