I'm in shock... Kubota BX pricing

[Williy]

I have a Yanmer YT235C paid $27,7k and now I see the same unit
with out the back hoe for $41,9k and that's a two year difference!

Did you get the backhoe with your Yanmar?

Buy a zero turn mower and keep your tractor. For years I mowed with a BX and although it did fine.. I got a walker GHS and the speed and cut quality is 10 fold better.

2016 New Holland Workmaster was around $26000 new with loader. 2023 same tractor and loader new approximately $36000.
Today's prices are for people that don't know past prices.
Also compare past land and home prices to todays prices.
The only good news I can tell you is I can sell my tractor used for what I paid for it new.
To me it really doesn't mean anything unless I decide I don't need a tractor anymore. Who ever inherits it will be making that decision on selling it or keeping it. It may make a difference on cash amount from selling.

What model work master is involved? I’m considering a used wm 40 and like to have a baseline to compare. Thanks

Baine-Welker bought our closest IH dealer that sells large farm equipment (Evolution Ag). They weren't interested in the smaller Kubota dealer that was part of Evolution Ag. A sales person at the small location told me that.

I have taken something to Baine-Welker and was not happy with what they charged for the service. I no longer have IH, though I like CNH equipment very much. I have no experience with the new CNH equipment though.

Kubota’s “Route 66” strategy is to have fewer and larger dealers

Yes.

Yes.

That's an astronomical price increase.

So, I'm getting older and some health issues have cropped up, as they tend to do. Taking on and off the mower deck on my BX2360 is getting tougher. I bought it in 2005 for about 12k, Tractor, 60" belly mower and loader. I saw somewhere that the newer JD and Kubota have made it easier by driving over and a more or less semi-automated hookup.

Doing some online pricing at their sites have left me in a state of complete shock! Is it true that I'm looking at close to 30k now??? Please tell me that I'm doing something wrong or that their SRPs are not near what dealers are charging.....

Thanks....

I always make money by buying Kubota Tractors new. I use them for 5-10 years and the value goes up and I sell for what I paid or more. Nothing like using new equipment for free. Remember when the new stuff is price high then your used equipment is worth more.

I thought about what you said and had to check my receipt and I was wrong tractor $27,665
backhoe $ 8,276
bucket $ 561
TOTAL $36,522
comparing tractor with cab & fell
What I paid $27,665 in 2021 and now I see the price 2023 was $41,900 add a backhoe and you will be probably looking at approx $50K+?????

I see also that the YT235 with fell & backhoe listed at $41,900 2023 model the prices vary in different areas
