Thanks for reading my post, I am a newcomer here and also a newcomer to the compact/subcompact tractor market.
I am in the market for a BX1500 (I think for my 1.1 mowing acres and bladework/tilling/light plowing needs an 1800/2200 would be overkill. 15hp diesel with 4wd and diff lock should be more than enough to get 'er done.) and am curious as to whether or not my local dealer is giving me a bad/ok/good price. What kind of pricing have you been shot on BX1500 and implements?
BX1500 Tractor: $6900
48" Mid Mount Mower: $1390
38" Tiller: $1750
4' Rear Blade: $440
Total is $10,480.
What do you guys think? Good price? Bad? Or is he just quoting me MSRP? BTW, he quoted me the same price for both the 54" and the 48" mowers. The price for the tractor and the mid-mount seem high to me. Just for those two, the price is $8290. My gut tells me the price is $500 too much. $7500-$7600 seems more like it. Is that way out of the question or is it feasible if I shop around enough?
The tiller and blade are both Bush Hog brand. The dealer feels that they are more robust than the Kubota brands. Either that or they are making more markup on the Bush Hog. I understand these guys gotta stay in business but at the same time, I got a new wife, new baby and a new house sitting on a little over an acre of wheatfield.
I think if he could do $9500 for the lot I would sign up. What do you folks think?
Thanks!
