TC45D Price

[kamarch]

Well, its time to go blue. I need to find a dealer in Texas (farm equipment state tax exclusion) nearest to Tulsa, Oklahoma that I can find a TC45D, 4WD, HST, with R4's, folding Rop, 16LA HD 72" bucket, and deluxe 3-point. So far, my best offer is $23,500 from a dealer in Springfield, MI. Can anyone give me the name or number of a dealer that might be able to give me a better price?

I don't know how close these guys are, but they seem to have some decent pricing on NH...

Brenham, TX is pretty far from you, so I'd try this link to New Hollands Dealer Locator.

If you want to drive to Texas, I can give you several dealers within 70 mi south of the state line. Good Luck. By the way, I think there are two dealers in Tulsa and I know there are several in Kansas. I guess it just depends on how far you want to drive for service.

I bought my TC33D from La Rue New Holland in Paris, TX and they treated me right. Talk with Royse.

Poman,

Thanks for the referral. I talked to Royce today, and it looks like I can get the TC45D, 4WD, FEL16LA HD, Folding ROPS, deluxe 3 point, R4's, with NH rebates for $21,700. That is a great price, and with no farm tax, beats anything I could get here in Tulsa. It should only cost me 2 tanks of diesel to pick it up and bring it home. It also sounded like I could add 1 HD hydraulic link and 1 remote valve for $250 more.

Have I missed anything? Does NH provide a HD grill guard for this model? Would I need one? I will also need a 72" box blade with rippers. Any suggestions on the best model on the market that would be suited for HD use with the TC45?

TIA

That's a really good price I'm thinkin' ... I'd get the grille guard if you do the stuff I do. I run through the brush all the time and sometimes do things like yesterday - I pulled out a utility pole and when it fell the bottom swung under the fel toward the grille [img]/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif[/img]--- just missed -- but I was sure hoping for a split second that the guard would take it if it hit.[img]/w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif[/img] I have a woods box blade on my 45 but you'll hear that there are lots of good ones out there - just make sure you get a heavy one. -- and add the remote for the hyd top link at least - you won't be sorry.

Thanks Mikim,

Pulled out a utility pole? sounds like you need a hardtop for those days where the wind is swirling around!

I did price the added the grill gaurd to the invoice. I have priced a HD 6' boxblade, with scarifiers. I still don't really know how I will use the hydro and remote, but it is a dealer add, and it seemed like a good time to have it installed. I have also gotten the QT bucket release. The factory can install it, and it will come in handy down the road. The last thing I need is 3-point hitch that I can use to pull a spliter, boat, or small trailer. I saw one on the Kubota page, but can't seem to find one on the SSB tractor implement page.

It took me almost 45 seconds to realize it's value when using the box blade - but then I'm a slow learner ...[img]/w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Great!! I think you will be happy with Royce and La Rue New Holland as your dealer. They really seem interested in providing the best service to their customers.
