Price Check B7500 - Good Price?

swmoore · Jul 27, 2001

I'm talking to a dealer about a b7500. He's given me a price of 10,400 for the tractor and 2700 for a loader. Is this a fair price?

According to the "Kubota B-Series Prices" page, a good price for both pieces would be $12,538 and a great price would be $11,800. Assuming of course a LA302 loader.

The total price quoted to you was $13,100 which seems high. (only about a 10% discount)

Not saying you can actually get the prices the page lists, but its based upon deals received by readers here. 15% discount is "good", and 20% is "great".

Wish I knew who put that page together, I would love to thank them!

Thank You! That page helped a lot. I just called a 3rd dealer and all have given me a price within $200. Maybe because this is a popular, they aren't dealing as much?

I paid 9600.00 for a 7500hsd with r-4 tires after dealing with all 3 dealer's within my area. I think that if they have it in stock they want to get rid of it before 2002 product comes out. so this is a great time to make a deal.

I bought for $9700 with 3 front suitcase weights, foldable ROPs and turfs. I live in northern VA.

I just had a Kubota dealer over today to look at my old G6200H. I had already shopped around on the B7500 HSD, turf tires with a 60" mid-mower. He had priced it at $11,600. The same machine, he priced with the FEL for $14,200. I'm not sure which loader though. That would make the FEL $2600.
I am trading my G6200H and $8600 for the above B7500 without the FEL. He will deliver next week.
I just picked up a Woods 5000 chipper/schredder today. That dealer also sells Kubota, but he was to high to deal with on them. He claims the B7500 will run the chipper/schredder, I'll find out next week. We do have a 55HP JD to run it with though. I think I'll get the front weights for the Kubota also, since the chipper weighs 530 lbs. I live in NE Georgia. The dealer is in NW South Carolina.

Again, thanks for all the info. I finalized the deal on Friday night. This dealer is the only one close to me. I called others in the area and their phone price was a little higher. So, I agreed to $13,000 with a la302 fel and they agreed to throw in the 50 hour service. I may have paid a little too much, but having the dealer within 5 miles for service is worth something.

I may have paid a little too much, but having the dealer within 5 miles for service is worth something.

I'm don't think I'd say that you paid too much (especially with the 50 hour service included), and you're right about having a good dealer nearby. Sounds like a very reasonable deal to me. Congratulations.

That sounds like a very reasonable price. The service is worth $200-$300 all by itself; especially if they come out to do it. Congrats, I think you'll love that little tractor as much as I love mine.
