Working 3 local dealers. Best price so far is;

b3030hsd-f
rck60-30b
la403
4-way valve set for loader
turf tires
loaded rear tires
$19500

BH75a
$6000

No charge for set up or delivery
0% for 42 months

Is this a reasonable priced based on what others are seeing?
Any dealer extras I should ask for or purchase at the time of sale?
Anything I should look for before taking delivery?
Thanks in advance.

Figuring $2000 for the mid mount mower, that seems like a pretty decent price for the entire package.

If you are in a cold weather area, you might want to add a block heater. If you plan to add more work lights, you may also want to get the upgraded alternator. The fender mounted loader joystick from the cab model is a nice upgrade for around $200.

See if you can get them to throw in the 50 hour service for free, or include the filters & fluids for free so you can do it yourself.

Seems a bit high compared to what I paid in January.

B3030, 60" MMM, 403 FEL, 60" Bucket, R4's (not loaded) ---> $18.5 k

0% X 24 months (ouch -- should've waited until 0X42 came out).

Dealer also threw in chain hooks welded on loader, supplies for an oil change, and toys and hats for the three kids. Not much free stuff, but he did give me a good price (at least for this area).

Things I'd consider if I were to do it all over again:
1. Rear scv's
2. Relocated loader joystick
3. HD alternator kit
4. Rear work light
5. Loaded tires
6. 72" MMM instead of 60"

Good luck. Let us know what you wind up with.

Thanks for the info. Its good to know I am close to what others are paying. I did not make it to the dealer Saturday due to weather. Will travel next week. This area has only 3 dealers in Ohio close enough for me to feel comfortable dealing with. Dealer 1 said he would match dealer 2's price but would not deliver. Dealer 3 would beat dealer 1's price by $100 for the tractor, mower and FEL but wants $800 more for the BH75 and wants a $250 documentation fee. Dealer 3 is much closer to home. I might pay a bit extra to stay closer to home but the doc fee really doesn't sit well with me. New car dealers alway try to add it on when signing papers. I never paid it to them and don't plan on paying it on a tractor (knowingly at least).

I may add the HD alternator and Cab model joy stick with the money I save at dealer #1. Also will ask about 1st service filters and fluids, and a new set of blades.

Am I correct that the brush guard comes with the la403 FEL?
Do all B3030's come with fold down ROPS?
What is best to load rears with?
Any issues/difficulty/ tricks to removing and installing MMM, FEL, BH75? It can be a pain with my B2150 and MMM.
I have noticed posts about spacers for chains. With turfs will I need them and what have you found to be the most reasonable place to get spacers and chains? Do you chain both or just the rears?

Thanks. Hope to post next Saturday that I am waiting for delivery:D

You might want to get some bucket hooks welded on while you are at it.

Turfs actually have the least amount of clearance on the B3030's, and you probably will need the spacers for chains. My dealer said that they have them in stock.

I guess "Rimguard" is the heaviest, but is more expensive than winter washer fluid. Both are much better than Calcium Choloride!

Most folks have been able to raise the front of the tractor with the fel enough to roll the mmm out the front of the tractor. I guess there isn't much clearance, but enough.

I think the B3030 can still be ordered with a non folding ROPS, but you sure don't see many that way.

Yes, the brush guard comes with the LA403 FEL.
All the B3030's that I've seen in my region have had the folding ROPS.

I had to pay a document fee, also. It was charged to my dealer by New York state. $60 here, but I think it varies from state to state.

Also, NYS requires you to pay sales tax based upon your county of residence. That saved me a couple hundred dollars because it's higher where the dealer is located than where my house is.

It took my delivery guy about 5 minutes to remove the MMM. He just popped up the front end of the tractor with the FEL, and off it came.

Waiting to see the advantage of the cab model joy stick. From reading posts here a lot of folks prefer them over the standard one. It might be smaller and less obstructive. I'll report what I learn later.

Having owned both, the remote mounted (fender) loader control stick is far superior to the joystick.

Now I feel really dumb. I went to a government auction a few weeks ago to bid on a seized L5020 HST w/loader with 80 hours on it. Thought I'd buy it and flip it but I dropped out and it went for 21500. A good price but did'nt leave me enough wiggle room. They also had a 2005 B3030 with backhoe, loader, and mmm with 105 hours. I didn't know it was going to be there and didn't do my research so Idropped out at $13500 and it sold for $13800. Guess I should have kept bidding!!!

(The backhoe still had the orange paint on the bucket, don't think it dug a hole yet)
