I don't want to hijack Maka's 5740 thread, so I'm starting this one. For those who may not have read, there is a post in the other thread by cowboydoc who said:
</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I'd like to know where the value is on these tractors?? The comparable tractor to this one is the JD 5225. With a loader and spec'd out exactly like the 5225 I got a quote from a dealer for $32,594 for a 5740C. Best cash deal I was told. From JD for a 5225 I got a quote of $30,800 for the exact equipped machine. Where's the value in these?? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif )</font>
Being in the market for a tractor (maybe), I go to the JD website & build a 5225 4WD w/cab and R1 tires. Selected option pkg 510 which includes 12x12 tranny, 2 rear & 2 mid remotes. With the 'standard' 512 loader, MSRP is $42,028 + freight... and I'm not sure I got the loader added right since it only showed a charge for the bucket & attachment hoses/hardware.
While I can't debate the quotes cowboydoc received, it seems odd that a dealer is willing to drop nearly 27% off MSRP. From what I've read here at TBN, 15% off is about max for most dealerships.
So, if a JD dealer can drop that much off the price, how much can a Montana dealer knock off?
