I am pretty well set on getting the M7060 Cab. My quote was $54,600 (for 0%), but that includes R14 tires, loader/bucket, rear wiper, creeper kit, Third function, 2nd rear remote, Air Seat, and the 100 Amp Alternator. The ROPS version was $47k, but you can't get an air seat which I really want. I realize I could add an aftermarket, but that just makes it even closer in price.
The M4 and M4D were basically $4000 and $5000 more. Just not enough extras for me for that to make sense.
I talked to my local MF dealer and he quoted me $58k for a 4707. He didn't really seem to be interested in dealing with me because I didn't just want a run of the mill configuration. When I asked about R4's he said they don't offer them. I had to clarify with him if Massey didn't or he didn't. He said he doesn't order them that way. It was clear he had no interest in selling me a tractor. That was ok because it is a really small dealer who I am not convinced will be there in 5 years.
My buddy and I were also discussing if getting a cheaper (15-20k), older two wheel drive to do my bush hogging made sense and then use the difference 30-35k on a nice skid steer. I gave it some real consideration, but I still think for what I do a better tractor is my best choice and I can rent a skid steer when needed.
Now it is just to see how long they think it will take to get it. I know they have some on order and he thought they may be able to change one to my config, but we'll see.
Thanks everyone for the feedback.
