First tractor purchase

[IXLR8]

Is any of the pricing due to tier IV stuff? Or does that not make any difference in this size tractor (under 26hp?) Sorry if I missed it earlier.

Kubota has Tier IV tractors out, and they seemed pricey. Kioti does not have Tier IV tractors out that I have seen yet. One dealer told me he expects to see them in August and they will cost $300-$500 more. Another dealer I talked with didn't know when the Tier IV tractors would be delivered, but he expected them to be $2000-$3000 more!!??

All the deals end 30 June. BUT WAIT! July 1 will start a new round of incentives no doubt. Keep in mind, the current cash back amounts on the website is for a TLB. Thats Tractor/Loader and Backhoe! Cash back is reduced by $1100 without the bh.

The point being, if a model qualifies for either the cash back or a free loader, the loader is probably a better deal. (eg. DKse open station)

Is that $1.1k against a $5-6k backhoe, just out of curiousity?

My KB2485 was $8000 minus the $1100 rebate.

Kioti has had incentives of one type or another every month for the past six years at least. They play the game of announcing the specifics and keeping those in place for only a month or two at a time but they always have a roughly equivalent deal the following month. Marketing. Intended to force you to decide now instead of next month.

Sounds like the norm, no?
