5053E and 5085M Pricing

Thanks tractorslinger for the info. I sent you a PM with request.

I paid right around $68k for my 5085M w/ 260 MSL loader and all options, and I mean all options, triple valves front and rear, Michelin radials, etc, etc. Worked out to just shy of 20% off list. I made a cash down payment from selling my 4700 privately and the balance was financed over 60 month @ 0%.

Thanks pclausen for the info. I really appreciate all the help from everybody here on these forums.

Thanks tractorslinger for the quote. I recommend anybody interested in JD to get a quote from tractorslinger.

With the way JD is treating there small dealers I'd be surprised if any of them have much more negotiating room then the others. I just compared the build-your -own prices to the price I paid for mine 5045E open station with a few options. loaded tires ,rear work lights, 4" axle spacers, with a 553 loader Jd carrier, 73" bucket and 6ft rotary cuter. The package lists for $35,500 and I paid $29,800 @ 0%. That works out to 16% off list for the whole package.

I hope you are right on that. JD becoming the Walmart of tractors may be good for JD but will cost the customers thousands of dollars.
