Hello, I just found this forum and have read a lot of the posts. My husband and I would like to buy a tc30 gear model with a Bush Hog FEL and a rotary cutter. We got a quote from Corriher which is about 300 miles from us. We spoke to the nearest dealer and he gave a price which is about $800.00 more. Judging from what I've read, the Corriher price seems reasonable although not fantastic (just about $16,000 delivered) but we'd have to hire a tow truck to get the tractor off the truck which seems like a bit of coordinating.
This dealer offers free pick and delivery during the warranty period and seems like a nice guy but is totally uninterested in negotiating. I'll check out another dealership tomorrow but it's a good fifty miles away. At least one other poster seemed to be getting the same tractor with hydro for bascially the same price the dealer is offering. I don't think of this area as a high price area but I've never bought a tractor before. I would gladly buy a used one but there don't seem to be any of that type available.
We were thinking of going in and just telling him exactly what figures we have and offering to split the difference. It's not like he has what we want on the lot, we'd have to wait two weeks anyway. $800.00 dollars seems a lot for local service, it is?
Thanks
