I am considering buying a new CUT w/ FEL in the 30 hp range, so I approached my local dealers and asked for prices. (near Boise, ID) These are the results. We could probably argue a lot about the comparisons between each model, and some would say I am not comparing "apples to apples", but my main point for now is just get a ballpark comparison, and to see how close these prices are to what I could hope for as the lowest. However if I have chosen a model that is way out of line compared to the others, let me know. I asked for the cash price equipped with FEL.
Kubota B3300SU $17,697
Kioti CK30HST $18,900
Bobcat CT230 $16,799 (seems high for orphaned product)
MF 1529 $17,200
Boomer 30 $18,700
John Deer 2720 and 3038 Around $20,000 (huh?!?) They could tell me sometime in June...
I didn't talk to the dealer, but have seen these advertised locally...
Branson 2800h $12,595
Field Pro 304 G2 $11,900
I imagine some dealers gave a better initial price than others. So how much lower, if any, can I hope to get them down to? How do I determine what the fair market price is? (It seems like a lot of the tractor search web sites have "call for price" for new models). How much can I ask them to drop the price and still be taken seriously?
