Tractor
Bobcat CT235
I have a deposit down on a CT230. My dealer just called and said Bobcat is offering a $3500 rebate and free loader on the CT235 for anyone who already has a deposit on the CT230 due to the long wait time on the CT230. Price out the door (tax included) would be $13,237 -vs- $12,770 for the 230. Actual hp per the spec sheet for the CT235 is 34 hp. Is 4 hp a noticable difference for $437?
Thoughts and opinions welcomed.

The extra HP will make a difference in the PTO. I'd pay the extra for that.

BTW Gumshu, how do you like your CT235?

4 hp and you get your tractor maybe a month quicker. I think it might be worth it. I suspect the 335 is a sweet tractor. I have a 225 and feel that it needs about 5 more hp. That would put it at 32. 34 would be even better.

So far so good. Nice machine. I paid $12,250 and added the bob tach, suspension seat, rear remotes, cutting edge and Speeco quick hitch for an additional $1,500.

Sonds like it is well worth the extra, problem is my dealer won't do it! Maybe I should check out a different dealer.

Yes! That is a great offer.

I have signed a contract for a CT230 also, and the official wait time is
2-3 months from now. If the Bobcat folks make the same offer here, I
will jump at it. Where are you?

I have had the Kioti equvalent to the CT230 for more than 4 yr and I
would definitely like 5 more hp, esp if it is less than $500 more!
