I'm getting pricing on a 4520, and asking for a few options. Dealer's quote includes freight on every single item, plus setup. For example, deluxe hood guard attachment -- price $317, but shipping is $60 and setup is $75. Isn't the guard coming from the factory on the unit? Even if it is sent separate to the dealer, who puts it on the unit, installing it should be nothing more than a couple of pins or bolts -- that I can do myself.
Same thing with the seat armrests -- setup is $125 ??!!!! I put armrests on my 4700 -- it took 10 minutes and a few screws. Can I buy them separately and put on myself? Otherwise a couple of armrests are going to cost me $287. Geez.
Same thing with telescoping draft links. First of all, JD should put the **** things on at the factory and credit me for the stock arms. But they apparently don't, because the quote includes $125 for setup, which will be pulling 2 pins and detaching the arms -- another 5 minute endeavor.
Is this the way Deere quotes all their tractor sales?
