M7040 Deal

[GeneD14]

I was at our local county fair yesterday and several tractor dealers were there. The Kubota/New Holland dealer had "fair special price tags" hanging on the tractors. The M7040 with loader, 4wd, R4 tires, cab, hyd shuttle was on sale for $34,999. I asked the salesman if it had hyd self leveling (which is very attractive to me since I use forks alot) and he didn't know. I thought that it came standard with a wet clutch, but to make sure I asked and he didn't know that either and shrugged his shoulders.
They also had a New Holland TN90 with loader, cab, 4wd, R1 tires on sale for $41,999.
I plan on waiting until next spring to pull the trigger on a new on so I had to go home and take a cold shower.

Next spring all the steel prices will have gone up. I am ordering now M5040 R-1's. Do what you have to.

Even after a cold shower I would be very, very tempted at that price!

If it's what you want, grab it. That's a good price. If it has the hydraulic shuttle, it has the wet (hydraulic) clutch. If you wait, you may kick yourself later.

Self leveling is an option, it just depends what loader valve they installed.
