Buying Advice Buy now or in February?

[spo307]

I am looking to buy a MX 6000 4x4 hst. FEL 3rd function on joy stick R4 tires loaded in rear. Front weights. I mostly mow fields 7 flail mower. Screen dirt and materials. Grapple for moving brush and trees. My question is do I order it now with a turnaround delivery in one month which would maybe give me a couple of weeks use before the close of the season for me. Or do I wait till February with a possible price increase, COVID-19 outbreak, and if the factory stops production? Thoughts ?
Thank you

High demand, low inventoty, and, at best, average incentives indicate a poor time to buy.

No one can predict the future.

In my nearly 80 years on this earth I have almost always found that panic buying is a very poor idea.

I was going to purchase in march but with covid heavy in ny where i am i held off. I guess the right choice would be wait till February and hope for the best thank you

Good thinking, that's typically the best time for tractors and automobiles. Production is returning to normal. If no covid19 restart there will most likely be a glut starting with good discounts. But who knows maybe the economy will get jumpstarted again and a buying spree after elections.

This is gut feeling call for you. :confused3: may depend on your location as well.

Even in our dealer starting to show stock supplies and with C19 maybe new president also not what kind interest rate etc. Kubota will offer next year.

Are you waiting just to get a good deal or what?

I have seen several of those models around here. That is one that I did not price. I decided on an L4701 and the dealer told me you are this close to the price of the MX5400, it would be a crime not to get that. He had the MX 6000 also, but I did not price the difference.
He did not charge me msrp and gave me money off on every implement I bought even with the Kubota deals on an FEL and 2nd implement. He gave me money off on a third implement also.
The zero % interest was good too.

I am not sure if they offer better deals in the winter or not?

I got a really good price from the dealer in Pennsylvania where I bought my L4400. 2009 and sold it three years ago. It痴 just a matter of putting A big chunk of money down and having a monthly payment on a machine that I will literally not use till April. The machine will be used on my vacation home 150 miles north of where I live.
I had first looked at the L 4701 and then he said for the money I should go with the MX5200. And then in February the MX 6000 came out. I have 60 acres of very hilly property that I go up and down he recommended going to the four-cylinder turbo would be better.
