Man, I am so pumped to be picking this thing up! I hope it's ready by tomorrow. Are there any things, accessories that might be go additions to the tractor? hood brush guard or anything anyone would recommend to a tractor novice? I haggled the radio and arm rests into the deal.

LOL! Yeah, I got the hat a koozi. It's funny, last night I was telling my wife that this was the most expensive hat I've ever bought.

LOL, I own Jeep Wranglers. You can buy a fully loaded brand new Rubicon and immediately rip off the fenders, tires, axles, etc. and buy new aftermarket products to replace the brand new Jeep parts. Glad tractors aren't the same! Expensive hobby!

I made a similar comment to the salesman. $29,000 for hat?! He was quick to reply,,, Nope $29,200.

Congratulations on the new purchase , I think you made a great choice. If your looking for another accessorie I see there's a company by the name Tractormat that makes custom floor liners to fit cab tractors , kinda like Weathertech does for vehicles . I just purchased a new Deere and think I'm going to order one. Should keep the original floor like new and its removable for easy cleaning.

Thanks! I believe the new MX series come with the rubber floor mats now. At least the one I bought has them. I agree it's a great idea to keep the floor looking like new. May help a little with traction when wet also.

Thanks for all the comments! I am now the proud owner of a MX6000 w/cab, front loader, filled tires, 6ft land pride box blade, and 6ft Land Pride Rotary cutter. $45,393 before tax. Wish I had a farm exemption on the taxes... $3,500 in tax. Ouch. May not have been the best deal in the world, but I am happy and that's all that matters. Plan on keeping it for the foreseeable future. Hopefully they will have it ready to pick up in a couple days.

TNSC, Congrats! I really wanted to get that exact tractor but ended up going just a but different route. Is there any chance you knowhow many gallons went in your rears? The total weight it added? and the cost to do that? Trying to get an idea so I can see if it matches up to what they'll tell me when I phone the tire service. If I recall correctly at least the entire rim should be surrounded by the fluid but not just too sure. I see you already got your pricing but just for comparison I ordered an L5460hstc, loader, light material bucket, rear and side defrost, larger alternator, 3 remotes, mid-pto, rear wiper, rear worklights and 3rd function and was at exactly $46,500 before tax. Ditto on the Ouch!
