Ct 2025 HST with Loader Price Check

[slingha]

What's everyone paying these days out the door on a CT2025 with a loader?

 

[Snowlan]

In Canadian funds $24,900 with a Bobcat 72" box blade and 42" 2.5k lb pallet forks (he didn't itemize the prices on the order sheet so I can't say exactly the tractor/loader price). That is the 0% finance price, had I paid cash it was $3000 less. Everywhere is different, so to put it in perspective I had a JD 1025R quoted with the same implements (smaller box blade though) and once JD added their fee for 0% they were $600 more than the Bobcat that weighs more than twice as much once both tractors have loaded rear tires. That JD is a nice tractor, but for my needs it was an easy choice.

EDIT: Just in case not all dealers include the rear remotes, this price did include them. Delivery about 15 minutes away also free.

In eastern Canada, bought in mid-Jan 2021: CT2025 HST: 24 200$ CDN. That price is w/o taxes and includes the following attachments/options and the Bobcat rebates of 520$ on three attachments: block heater, tool box kit, HST linked pedal kit, 4 ports rear remote, rear working light kit, 3-point quick hitch, 60-inch box blade, 2.5k lb pallet forks, front en loader (included if you pay cash), delivered to my house (about 1 h drive from the dealer). Was the best deal from quotes I received from Kioti (CK2610), MF (1825E and 1526), Mahindra (1626), JD (3025E), and Kubota (L2501). And one of the best based on specs I was looking for.

$16,613 out the door for a CT2025 HST with FL7 loader, including the HST linked pedal option.

Ordered 2/10/2021. Quoted 30-45 days from the factory. Getting close!

The local Bobcat dealer never placed my order with the factory! Just found out last week. Looks like I will not be getting a Bobcat now. I waited 90 days only to have to start over completely. Quite disappointing. Stay away from Triangle Equipment Company in Raleigh, NC.

Thanks for posting the name of the incompetent Dealership. People need to do that more often.

If they want to come in here and tell us why we shouldn't avoid them, they can do that.

Maybe something happened like, maybe the salesman got fired shortly fter he took your order and it never got placed. Maybe they were expecting your very tractor on a Stock Order and it didn't show up.

But simply forgetting is inexcusable. Very, very, VERY bad management.

True story (which is like sying, "This is no ****), but a rtired Big Wig from GM was a customer of mine a long, long time ago.

I told him abut Toyota and Honda and how I thought they were realy going to take some Market share awy from GM. He scoffed.

GM was, for decades THE biggest Company on the Planet Earth. They made more than cars, they made Locomotives, they owned Dee-Troit Diesel and made engines for Tanks, HUMVEEs, they owned Allison and made Fighter Aircraft, Bombers and Commercial Engines. They were the goobermint's darling. They got contract after contract from them. They made more money.....

GM was the Big Boy of -- Everything. They did what they wanted because they really just didn't care. They had a (well-earned) reputation for putting new technology (which is a stretch) on the road and letting the Public de-bug it.

Little, iddy-bitty (at the time) Toyodor and Honda refused to market anything until they were pretty sure it was ready. They actually took the time to engineer things, they actually catered to the wants and needs of the buying Public. While GM was making the Oldsmobile Diesel and the V8-6-4 and the Cadillac Cimarron and.......

Oh well. And we all know what happened to GM, don't we? They have never recovered. They never will. Toyota could buy and sell GM with their petty cash.

And they did it to themselves by not caring about the little guy. That's the point of my whole, boring soliloquy.

The little guy counts. People that don't know that are doomed to fail.

Good. They should

sorry for the rant

My goodness. That is so bad.

How did you find out?

I received a text message from my sales-person last Tuesday. I was about 90 days into my 45-60 day window that I was originally quoted. I checked in with him a few times along the way and he would say, "Bobcat isn't even giving me firm delivery dates on anything right now." Rather than try to resolve this for me, he basically sent me contact info for other Bobcat dealers in the area and sent me on my way. I spent the better part of last week calling around trying to find one in stock.

Unfortunately there is very little recourse for me. I'm just thankful that my livelihood didn't depend on having this tractor and it was just for general yardwork around our farm.

Emailed the president and vice-president of the company twice requesting a return phone call to hear there side of the story, but never heard a thing back from them. I am definitely spreading the word everywhere I can!

Just horrible. I guess these folks just don’t give a darn since they seem to be able to sell all they can with no effort.

It looks to be a sellers market in everything these days.

What about a deposit? Did you fill out paperwork and lay down a little cash? I ordered my 2025 4 weeks ago and now I'm really hoping mine shows up. Sorry to hear about your experience, hope it's an isolated incident.

 

[Red-bug disease]

I finally got mine last Monday. About 4 months after having placed the order.

 

[Robert_Actual]

Looks sweet! Excited for you!

That is a nice looking machine. Very shiny.

Congrats!

Did you deal with the dealership in Dartmouth? How were they to deal with?

I phone them 2x. Left a message the 2nd time. 5 days later I phoned again and finally, they had a sales guy phone me at 8am. Told him exactly what I wanted, and that I was getting a quote elsewhere as well, but was ready to write a cheque that day. He texted me a price at 10pm. Being text there was very little detail, other than it would be a 4 month wait time. I text him back, asking if that including PDI, tax, and loader, and rear-remotes (which I had told him to include). Never did hear back, so I ended up buying out of province (out west) a week later. The dealer I got it from had a few on the floor, and just had to install rear remotes. They even delivered it 80km out to my brothers farm. Never did hear back from the sales guy in Dartmouth... pretty disappointing. We are in the middle of moving back to NS, and work is covering the cost of the move, so buying 4000km away wasn't that big of deal. But I really hope Bobcat Atlantic's service department is a lot better than their sales department!

Yes, I was dealing with the Dartmouth dealership. It was hit or miss during the process, COVID was an issue for them because the head salesman retired after I got my first quote. The next guy in line stepped up to the position, but then never had an opportunity to train an assistant so he had to deal with a lot of the paperwork that typically gets handed off.

So far service hasn't been bad. I had damaged chrome on one backhoe stabilizer cylinder when it was delivered. I was installing it myself, I sent a picture and one was ordered right away. I've been away for work and they drove out to replace it as soon as it came in.

Just purchased a CT2025 HST here in North Texas. Paid right at 16,500.00 with FEL. They are delivering from another dealer 86 miles away with no charge. I got quote about 3 weeks ago and when I called this week to pull the trigger they said price was 500.00 more. I produced quote and they honored it. They are selling well around here or are hard to get as everytime I talked to them, they had to arrange to pull from another dealer.

Cool! I like my CT4045. So far dealers seem good here too.

Heres a price I just received, Crystal motors Spring hill fl 3/31/2022 ct 2025 hst w/loader 22970.00 + 7% tax. Wouldn't do a ag tax exempt and they don't do trade ins. I bought the Kioti ck2610 hst w/fel and pallet forks, floor mat, rt side step, pats quick link, arm rests, and throttle link for $20,488. They took my 2009 bobcat 25hp in trade and gave me what I paid for it in 2009..$8,000.00.
