Maybe so Kenmac, but it is interesting that I paid Nothing....... And they had just received the tractor I had to wait for them to install the loader. Obviously It is different with the various stores.....

I'm sure they made it up on the price somewhere... A lot of car dealers started figuring the delivery price into the car / vehicle price instead of listing it separately..unless the op post back that was a charge to deliver to their home,, we'll never know

Some delivery charges don't reinflate a great great discount as they got.
But its much more likely that the charges about implement transfers frpm a distant cabelas warehouse or distant store where they had some implements that the op wanted.
$400.00 Prep & $450 Freight is mandatory to be included in every tractor sale. They could sell "Tractor Model A" for $25,000.00 plus $850.00 Prep/Freight OR "Tractor Model A" for $25,850.00 including all fees - either way it is in there - each store is different in regards to how they write the contract. Handloader you did pay for it, it was just not line itemed out on your contract. Nothing sneaky going on just different ways to get to the same place...
And Congrats Kate on your new tractor!!! Remember... Pictures or it didn't happen! Which TX store?

This healthy conversation has me interested in checking them out deeper. I had a very good conversation with the Service Lead at the local Cabala's. i notice that there are LM43 and LM 50 with the Perkins 404D engine with Tier 4 Interim and I see the LM 45 and LM 55 with the Yanmar engines. I know the Perkins has been around a while and Yanmar is well tested. Is there any reason to avoid the Tier 4 Interim as opposed to the Tier 4 Final? 
I will say that NOBODY has been able to meet or beat the price we got at Cabelas. And of course I know that nobody could. It's a one time fire sale. Cabelas in Allen, Texas is who we worked with only because they were the closest. They have been super responsive. Our delivery is scheduled for next Friday and I will be spending several hours as everything will be brought to me. I will definitely post pics. Some implements we will have to wait on as they are being shipped in from other locations. It may be several weeks but we are only talking 2 implements. According to our Sales Rep the implements are selling very fast. With regards to the Trailer I bought from Cabelas I don't know the brand but I will find out who makes it and post it tomorrow morning. The engine in the tractor I bought is a Yanmar, they discontinued Perkins which we were somewhat sad about, however Deere was also using Yanmar in the model that we were looking at. As far as freight and delivery, I got so much discounted and thrown into the deal it comes to a point where I am happy with the price and I am not going to continue to hen peck them over that I have saved AT LEAST $12,000 +/- on this deal. My experience with Cabelas has been very good. I will say that my local Deere dealer was exceptional. The Kubota guys...honestly they seemed to be resting on their laurels. I was NOT impressed. But I do realize dealerships can make it or break it. If I had not gotten the deal at Cabelas I was ready to deal with the local Deere dealership. They were super nice and patient with me answering questions. They wanted my business and were willing to go the mile to do whatever it took to win me over. I am not exaggerating. They were super awesome and if I ever need any other equipment I am going to give them my business.

Congrats katetx! Is there a breakdown on your bill of sale listing only the price of tractor/loader? I was quoted $30,750 for 55hp and $28,995 for the 45. This was a hydro/cab/tractor/loader. Thanks!
