M7060HD12 and M9960HD12 ROPS Price Check

[SDT]

I'm working with my local dealer about either an M7060HD12 or an M9960HD12 ROPS to replace a MF tractor that I bought two years ago that I have lost confidence with. My local dealer is only 4 miles away, is a good dealer and I trust their work but they are not known for the best prices around.

Tractors are equipped the same: 12X12 hydraulic shuttle with E-PTO, Kubota loaders with third function valve, QA bucket (72" for M7060, 84" for M9960), cast wheel centers with one pair of rear weights, front weight bracket with 6 front weights, second float detent rear remote, single lever FEL hydraulic quick connect, rear work light kit, and down (horizontal) exhaust kit. FWIW, I need ROPS and horizontal exhaust because I often mow around and under trees.

My dealer quoted $46,780 for the M7060 and $52,945 for the M9960. Both quotes are first quotes (dealer says there is not much wiggle room) and do not include cash rebates of $1,500 for M7060 and $2,000 for M 9960. I would almost certainly pay cash as I do not like to pay for money.

The dealers quotes include significant shop time for installation of optional equipment, which they claim must be dealer installed.

Build it prices on Kubota website are $48,966 for M7060 and $57,279 for M9960.

I believe both quotes include more than "not much wiggle room."

What do you folks think?

I would recommend contacting Barlow's in Sommerset KY. When I was 9960 price shopping last fall, they were considerably less than any local dealer. Barlow's quoted me $52,900 for a 9960HDC12 (cab) equipped with FEL, (3) rear remotes, 3rd function, air ride seat, EPTO, cast rears, radial tires, etc. The price was 0% for 60 mos. and included any cash incentives applicable at the time.

No doubt you can probably get a better price, in the long run, on our M8540, we've been ahead financially due to dealer support and prices on equipment. Certainly nothing wrong with looking around and checking with Barlow's, the difference in price for us was not all that much for us, so we went local.

Thanks for the advise. I contacted Barlow's yesterday and their quite was about $5,500 less (delivered) than the local dealer.

I would like to deal locally as they are a good dealer but doing so is not worth that much to me.

I was just quoted 39,xxx for a very similar 7060. I didn't have the front weights, wheel weights, no 3rd function. 2 (sets) rear remotes, and low pro tires (im guessing r4?) I was thinking my quote was high but now im thinking i might take it while i can?
