B3030 and B7800

If my dealer gave me prices like those. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif I would be telling him to go find a pencil sharpener and re figure the price. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Those prices are several thousand more on both tractors than others have posted on TBN. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

yes. Both tractors were with soft cabs Cab heat, Backhoe, mid pto Filled r4's. I really leaning towards the L3130 due to much higher lift capicity and height.

If I didn't already have a B2910 with all the attachments, a L3130HST or L3430HST would be my choice. There is a dealer in Michigan that has a L3130HST for $13800. That's less than a B7800.

Ya, I really think I'm going for the 3130. I am gonna get a soft cab with heat for the winters. In the summer I can take the doors off.

Yeah, but once you add the Loader and R4's for that model he is going to get you for about $18,500 or $19,000 I bet. The loader and R4's are more expensive on the bigger models. My B7800 was approx $11,900 tractor only, $2970.00 FEL and $62 for the R4's.

The point that Deere3120 and I are making. Is that you can purchase a L3130HST for about the same price as a B3030.

Gotcha.... That's where I kept getting greedy. 15K for B7800, for about the same price (fel & R4) 17K for B3030, for about the same price 19K for L3130 and then heck for about the same price the John Deere 3320 at 21K!!! I had to remember where I wanted my payments to fall and that was at the 15K price.
