I think those are just prices on tractors not loaders. I also think the MPH's are not right but I could be wrong. I believe those of us that bought in the past few months really got a lot of tractor for the money.
When I purchased last May the MSRP on my CT230 with loader, turf tires and deluxe seat was just shy of 20K. I purchased for $9500. So yes, I believe I got one heck of a tractor for the money. That's why I don't get too concerned about a few rust spots. I'll take that when saving 50% off of MSRP on a new tractor.
Definately good deals were had. When my other tractor owning buddies see my tractor and I let them run it, they always ask "how much did this thing set you back?" I tell them. Then I help them pick their jaw off the floor.
I guess that means their green tractors cost a good bit more. lol
