4115 over 2520

I bought a 4115 this week over a 2520. For me the reasons were availability and price. My local dealer only had a "demo" 2520 on loan from the regional sales rep. They sold more than one during their Open House last weekend because of this demo model. I was "sold" on the 2520, too. Until they told me that I'd have to wait until June to get it! My grass and driveway can't wait that long. So I bought a very slightly used 4115 (71 hrs) that they had just received in on trade. The differences between the 4115 and the 2520 are minor (IMHO). And I got the 4115 for $2K less.

It's a strange time for JD pricing on these tractors!
The MSRP for a "new" 4115 is $2,500 HIGHER than the MSRP for a "newer" 2520. (How'd dey do dat?)
Only because mine was a "used" tractor was I able to beat the price on the 2520. But, because my 4115 will be delivered in a few days, instead of a few months, it was an easy choice for me.

They must have given you a date based on a 'for stock order' (mistake my salesman made). Someone corrected him and figured it out based on a 'pre sold unit order' there was a big difference in lead time (over a month)

Anyway I'm still waiting and likely will be for 11-12 more days. Grass is getting pretty tall! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

TOL, I hope you get your tractor very soon. Mine was delivered today. I spent the day clearing brush and dirt to make room for a garden. It's an awesome machine. You won't be disapointed! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Good to see you have some ground crew for that machine...
or is that the job boss?

Awesome choice in tractors I wish I had such good taste and sense! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
