Hello all,
i am new to this forum but have been following the threads closely as I am about to make my first tractor purchase. Here is where i am confused. I decided to bite the bullet and start my search for a 50 hp utility tractor and narrowed it down to john deere 5055e and kubota mx 5100 hst. I decided on the 5055e and started the financial process through deere credit. I was approved and the sales person told me on the 60 month loan I was required to insure the tractor for the life of the loan. I said ok and they told me it was $500.00, i thought thats reasonable and the deal was done.
ok, part of the deal was that I wanted r4 tires not r1. They told me it would be november before they could order the tractor from factory with r4s and delivered to me sometime before christmas.
I cancelled the order and went down the street and bought the kubota mx5100 hst that already had r4s on it.
when we did the loan through kubota credit, the insurance was $2000.00 for the life of the loan (60 months).
The tractor will be delivered by the end of this week after tires are loaded for weight and remotes added to rear.
Anyone know why there is such a huge difference in insurance prices?
thanks to any and all for your knowledge about this.
