That makes it pretty darn(edit) awesome!!

Seems pretty good to me- let me know if you actually get that 0% 60- I have a 3520 cab on the way and they thought I could get the same rate as you but they said Deere is only offering that on the 4000 series.

Interesting. That's what the other dealer I went to showed me on his financing sheet. I wonder if different dealers get different rates.

The other dealer also quoted me on a 4-in-1 bucket, this dealer said it can't be configured that way, it would have to be aftermarket.

Yes the do, the rates are apparently offered in regions. I found on the WEB, a dealer in CT, that was offering different rates than in the VA area. i don't live in neither but i look all ove the place for deals and that I thought was quite interesting.

I like everything you chose for your tractor, however I would nix the backup alarm..... my friends 110 TLB came with it, we tried to put duct tape on the alarm to quiet it down, then we just completly cut it... it is so ear piercing it drove everybody nuts... when it was working, we almost tried not to go in reverse so we didn't have to hear it...HAHA... It would be nice if backup alarms came with an On/Off switch, but when I need to use my tractor late at night, say plowing snow, that's the last thing the neighbors want to hear.....

IMO, do you NEED all those toys & trinkets? I think that price is high...Yes, I'm a do it yourselfer who grew up on a farm so I'm not scared of tractors & equipment. But I KNOW I can outfit my 3520 myself with all the options listed for much less then you quoted....even at that, most everything is off the shelf so no "self engineering" is required...
Something as simple as the stereo...
-JD Radio Mount Kit: $80.00
-JD Delco AM/FM/CD: $285.00
When I got my tractor I got JUST the mount and swung over to best buy and got a really nice Kenwood unit which does MP3's and Satelitte Radio on clearance for $99.00

-3rd SCV: 250.00 and about 3 hours of my time...
-Rear Worklights: 80.00 and about 15 minutes of my time

Automotive Cruise units go on eBay for 80.00 and from hearing about it...would take about 10 minutes to install and 5 minutes to configure the computer.

TnT: I dont have one myself, but CCM machine has really nice ones for less then JD...



You can get a nicely configured 3520 Cab for WAYYYYYY less money then that...my whole package was less then just the price you were quoted on the tractor alone...

Spudland, Need?

The 3rd SCV is $260 fitted, auto cruise $89 fitted, rear lights $117 fitted. Now I certainly hear ya on the stereo, that was impulse (and actually the CD version is $683). I could certainly go get a stereo from Best Buy, but time is not something I have a lot of, I may think of dropping it all together though since its a frill item.

Now as I loaded this thing up I was trying to justify every piece, in the end it came down to this: I really don't have a lot of time and if I found later that I would need to have a "kit" fitted to use some piece of equipment I would either have to get the dealer to do it at great cost (and with cash) or pass on the new equipment e.g. I don't plan to get an MMM and I don't think I need a snow blower, but without mid PTO if I ever change my mind on that it would be a big PITA. So I loaded all the functional stuff. Is this irrational? I'm certainly no tractor expert

I'll drop the back up alarm (that's $99! )

Looking at the quote, I got 10% discount on tractor and better than 10% on the loader and backhoe, which I understand is not a bad deal reading this site. So I guess its all down to the options.

Actually, I just noticed the rear lights and wiper are supposed to be part of the deluxe cab so I shouldn't have them called out on my quote. I can't find the decription of whats extra in the deluxe cab anymore to assess whether it is worth it over the standard - the only place that says anything is the configurator and it just says rear wiper and lights. That can't be right, the cab is $1300 more and those options total $356. Anyone got a link to info on the deluxe cab? It used to be right there but they changed the layout.

 

[JasonMac]

I Think The deluxe also includes the Mid-Pto and Air Ride Seat, and that would seem to justify the difference in price... However, Do get a Radio... It makes the cab that much more enjoyable...

When I bought my 3720 Cab, I made sure I got all the extras too, so in case I needed them later.... like the Mid-Pto, Extra Lines to the Loader, and Electric Diverter Kit etc.
