Maybe someone needs what looks like a good deal....

Any idea how much this would cost at a dealer? $21,600 is full price on the Deere site. Can't tell if it has mid SCV either.

The bidding is over and I'm guessing that the buyer copped out. I have received a "second chance" option to buy this for $14,750 (my max bid). Is this a good deal? I was really looking forward to hydro tranny but I was shopping for a lower powered tractor. Should I grab this and add a FEL later? Is this a very good price?

IMHO if you need the mowing deck and would be happy with a reverser it is a good price. If you really want a hydro I'd pass on it.

Don't exactly get what the reverser is all about. Seems like I'd be getting a lot of tractor vs. a new 2210 w/ FEL & 62" MMM for $13,200 + tax...

The ePowrReverser gives you the ability to flip a handle on the steering column to go from forward to neutral to reverse or visa versa without clutching but maintaining the same gear. You have a foot throttle to adjust motor rpm. Basically a syncho-manual tranny other than that. Just clutch it to change gears - don't have to come to a complete stop.
Yes it is quite a bit more tractor than the 2210 and I'd guess you could add a loader for somewhere in the $3500 range. A little less or more depending on whether you get the 420 or 430 loader - 430 is heavier duty/greater lifting capacity.
Good luck on making a decision !
