Looking at a CUB 1572 Diesel What's it worth?
 

Guy I work with has a good running 1572 Diesel with snow blade,60 inch deck wheel weights and chains.......what would be a good price?

He is asking $2600.00.........is he on crack or is this reasonable for one of these truly manly machines?

If it looks real good, runs great, starts easy, then I would say it is worth that, especially with the items that come with it. If you could get us a pic of it and how many hours are on the unit. If it has a plow then it should have a Cat 0 3 point lift. That's about $400-$500. The deck if good $300-$400 and the plow between $250 - $350.

$2600 wouldn't buy mine.

Hey DWayne thanks for the info. Will try to get some pictures this weekend.
I thought that it sounded a bit high ......but never owned or looked for one til this came along. If he wants this kind of money, I will see if he will post it on here for sale as that is too rich for my blood.
It does not have the 3 point hitch and I should have said that it is a snow blade not plow. Will edit post.
And it looks nothing like yours and is the yellow and white one 1988 model.
Thanks,

Thanks,

With the new info then yeah, he is a bit high. $1800 maybe. The diesel does add some $$$ to it but not that much. Hope to see some pics and we can give a better estimate.

If the paint is good, if the battery is not rotted and everything works and it is not too dirty, I would think it would be worth it. These are going to get harder to find.

Worth it!!!!!!!
 

Boy you guys are spoiled up there. Down here in Georgia that thing would have been sold on Craig's List before the first hour. They, diesels, are so rare down here and for that price it would be a no brainer. I called a guy about a Johnson loader on an old Wheelhorse and he wanted $2500 for it. I asked how much just for the loader and he said $2500. He sold it the first day. Just look at ebay and you will see certain items getting less frequent on the site and some of the parts are getting scarce too. It seems like the original CC's and the later models are taking over the parts category. Not too much in the middle years and CCC models. I guess it's because people want them as tractors and not as restored items for show.

We paid $2500 for our 782D. It had 350 hrs 50in deck and a 42in plow. That's about as low as they get around here.

I do feel that I stole my 1572. I bought it at auction 1 1/2 years ago. It came with a 450 snow blower, weights, and chains. Also has the Haben power angle blade for the front plus the 50" deck. I paid $1600 for it. With that 450 blower, it blows snow like the big boys. Mine is also a yellow and white. Not as nice as DX3's, but a good clean straight unit.

Wow! for that kind of money you could get a new big box store Cub Cadet with a nice new tin hood and a belt drive tranny. I bet that smoker doesn't even have a cup holder for a nice glass of green tea when your mowing with the optional sun shade!:biggrin2:

I wouldn't think twice about putting $2000 in a diesel like you have described. My dad has been offered $2500 for his several times since he bought it. I would love to have a lead like that. The only draw backs are no 3 pt and I'm guessing no pto? That puts it lower than the $2600 asking price in my opinion
