First blush --- those bids look very competitive with other brands and on a Hp/dollar basis will make prospective buyers really consider whether the "creature comforts" of the 4520-4720 are worthwhile.

Chip --- Did you manage to get the Deere configurator to project a total estimate for the tractor and loader? I couldn't figure out how to get a cost on the loader and options; skid steer, etc.

Thanks.

My total, with all of those options, from the Deere configurator was right at $30k. That's minus a bale spear.

That leaves my pricing at about 10% under MSRP (or whatever you want to call it).

Since it's a new model, I figure that's about fair. Doubt there will be any "deals" out there right now.

Also, the financing is kind of high right now. May have to wait 'til that pretties up.

Thanks, Chip. Guess I'll have to play around a bit more on the JD site. (I was on there at least a dozen times and never could get past building the tractor to see what the attachments (FEL) was listed for...)

Forecasts (all those market whiz-bags..) are for interest rates to dip (or drop). Might see JD extend the zero percent offerings available on CUT's to the Utility tractors, too!

I've been lookin' real hard at buyin' a brush hog mower but I got sidetracked a bit with considering an equipment trailer instead.

And after hay season, I started (wife wants me to!) gettin' more serious about a bigger tractor.

Headin' down to do some pheasant hunting later this October, so I'm gonna look at both --- bigger tractor and equipment trailer!!

AKfish,

Stay in the tractor building mode and you will get the implement price. Takes a little patience at first-seems like my problem was I did not answer the option questions on the tires etc and would not take me past the tractor to the implements.

I am also thinking of moving up to a 5203 and got a quote today:

5203 MFWD
16.9 28 rears
dual mid scv
rear scv
telescoping draft links
front weight support
factory loader installation

522 loader
73" bucket
hood gaurd
$25,077.00

so waddya think good deal or bad? thats the price with freight and setup. I also thought of a couple other things on my way home like loading the rears, arm rests, a rear work light and a coolant heater so I need to get another quote sometime.

Looks a lot better than what I've seen so far. Regional differences? Maybe.
