Pricing for L2800 & L3400 ?

[jmunekata]

I'm a newbie but been lurking for two plus years and getting closer to buying a tractor to help with maintaining our 10 acres mostly pasture grass, pond and some trees.

Looked at Kubotas today, and was steered towards the L2800/3400. I want a CUT vs the SCUTs which seem to cost just as much ($18K for neighbors B2350 with BH, L, & MMM). Plan to plow snow, some grading of pasture, brush-hogging the rougher pasture, moving some material around and general landscaping, maybe extend our drive and parking area.

Prices quoted were:
L3400 $13,900
Tractor L2800 $12,600
Front Loader LA 463 $3,500
Ballast Box L8170 $270
60" Brush Hog RCR1860 $1,400
60" Box Blade BB1560 $725
72" HD Box $850
Post Hole Drill PD15 $935
Finish Mower 3pt side AT2672 $2,250
Tiller Slip clutch RTA1558 $2,180

Your opinions on these prices would be appreciated. I am in Maryland. The L2800 price seems pretty good but the increase to the L3400 is higher than mentioned here and the attachments do add up. BTW, the BH 75 was quoted at $6200....ouch !! Dealers advice was to forget the BH and rent one when you need it.

The list price for the L2800 hst is 14,620 so your 12,600 sounds like a good price. the loader lists for 3,995 so the 3,500 is also a decent price. Sounds like the dealer is giving you some decent pricing. Hope this helps.

I had similar impression; that tractor price was reasonable but attachment and especially BH were high.

I think the cost of attachments you quote are high.
