George would want him to buy a termite.. Have him inspect the transmission housing real close, when you have the back hoe hung on a stump and the front of the unit off the ground.Then the hoe breaks loose that sudden drop has been know to break the torque tube or transmission housing. My best guess is around $ 18,500 or so depending on if it is out of warranty or not.

For my 2 cents,
For what this is worth, I would much prefer an older larger more substantial tractor in the 50 Hp range. An older tractor will have more iron, less electronics and more grunt
for a lot less money. Let's just say I wouldn't trade my JD 2030 for it.

jm,
Just because a terramite works well for me, have two of them, doesn't mean everyone wants one. Neighbor saw what mine can do, so he buys a BX2300. It couldn't come close to keeping up with mine. Lucky if he could lift a 1/3 of a bucket full of dirt. We used his and mine to load dirt from my gravel pit. He put it on one side of truck, I did the other side. People watching had the same opinion. He wanted me to try his out. His hoe couldn't dig in loose dirt.
The upside to the JD, it small enough if you removed the hoe, you could use it to clean out a horse stable. Move sawdust around for bedding. Definitely better than a wheelbarrow and a shovel.
It would be interesting to see the specs on it. geo.

I believe the 2305 is the smallest of the older 2 series midsize JD compacts. Don't hold me to it but I think it only has 1 hydro pump to control all the hydraulic functions. You had to go up to the 2520 to get 2 pumps. I would question how well a backhoe would work on that. With just the one pump I'm guessing it will constantly be starving for hydro fluid. If it did work it's got to be slow but probably still a lot faster than a shovel.

One of my hay customers (horse owner) was showing me the toy his wife brought home - an new 3032E with everything in the OP except the backhoe. He commented that after she bought it he checked out the DEF system on it to see if it was possible to remove it - its not and supposedly its over $2000 to repair when some common failure occurs..... I commented he had more in the one tractor than I had in all the equipment I used to harvest his hay - including the pickup that delivered it.
While leaving I said something about "If your mother ever bought something like that...." My son chimed in on how it probably costs about $12,000 and seemed really surprised when I told him he was only about half way there for the tractor, loader, shredder, and rake. And that's why they pay us $6 a bale to deliver and stack 45 pound bales in their barn.

List on a comparable new setup is about $23,000. I would think he is asking a bit much for a unit that is almost 10 years old, but it does have low hours. My mom has a similar tractor to mow the lawn, and blow snow
out of the driveway. So far no problems. you just have to realise it is a small unit, and not a 310 loader backhoe.

If you can afford $18k then you can afford $23k for one that has 0 problems , 0 hours , and a warranty . Tires deteriorate as do gaskets , belts , hoses . Buy a new one and keep up the scheduled maintenance or buy a ten year old and hope things don't start wearing out . Now if he were asking $12k it might be different .

If he buys it and puts some hrs on it the value will drop dramatically because of its age,a new one will cost 5K more but with the same amount of hrs as this one in 5 years will be worth a whole lot more.A lot depends on how long he's planning on keeping it.
Larry the JD 2305 is the economy. Nothing wrong with that but it is a striped down version of the premium model JD 2320. The biggest thing you would need to do is test drive the tractor and run the loader an backhoe. The ones I have ran seem slow to me. I know I am used to full size stuff but trying to dig much with a real slow machine would not be for me. The JD 2305 does not have that much hydraulic flow 2.9 flow to the functions and 2.3 for the steering. The JD 2320 is 3.4 and 2.2 for the steering. The flow is not much different but the operating pressure is. JD 2305 is 1980 PSI and the JD 2320 is 2420. That is where your really notice the difference.
As for price he is in the ballpark. If he deals down to $17000 or so it would be a good deal to me. I would take it over the replacement models as the newer ones have more electronics and plastic over that model.

He'll probably get close to the asking price.
a few years ago, maybe not, as the price is approaching a new one.
But, with tier 4 in place now, there are buyers that will not buy/own a tier 4...period.
Nice little machine, looks handy.
As far as a new little tractor hoe that
won't dig loose dirt...that is a warranty issue.
All the small ones I've operated...the hoe was far too powerful for the tractors size IMO.
