1529 price check...

[amstaff]

I was just in a dealership today for a Simplicity Garden Tractor, and while I was there I looked at the MF 1529. I am currently "down-sizing" from a utility tractor to a compact in the high 20 to low 30 hp range. I was quoted $16,995 for a 4X4 1529 with FEL and R4 tires. For the life of me I cannot remember if that was for the HST or gear! I think HST. He said there was currently a $3k (or maybe it was $3,500) rebate on them... $17k seems kinda high for a 28hp tractor, no??? Anyone buy one of these within the past year? Like it?

What Simplicity was you looking at?

It seems fair to me.

What Simplicity was you looking at?

It's a Conquest (painted Red w/ MF badging!)... MF calls it a 2700 series, and it has a 24hp Briggs/ 52" deck. There is a slim (VERY slim) chance that I take a 2800 series (Prestige, I think) with a 30hp Briggs and 54" deck. He has had the 2800 sitting in his showroom for a long time and he is coming up with a quote to move it. We'll see.

It seems fair to me.

I do think his was for the HST (and I am also pretty sure it already had the tires loaded w/ washer fluid). I will be back there soon, so I will confirm the quote. I would really like a gear for cost reasons.

$16,585 for a 2013 model in tractor house. It getting close to spring. I would think prices are going to be higher now. But you never know.

Did the price that he quoted include the $3000 or $3500 or would you get that back also?

Rebate was included in that price.

I'm sorry Amstaff, Somehow I missed this question... I really like my 1526 a lot. It does everything I want it for and more. There is always a time when you wish you had a bigger tractor, maybe a cab, and of course a backhoe, but you have to be realistic as to what you really need. It is just right for what I need a tractor for. It sure beats a pick and shovel and a push mower haha :thumbsup:
