Crazy Prices Or Not ?

[bajacrazy]

Greetings everyone. I’m new to this site, but have been lucking around here for some time taking advantage of the information and knowledge from all of TBS members. I’ve been in the market for a new tractor and narrowed it down to the Kubota B7610, B7800, B2630, and the John Deere 2520. I’ve notice some of the prices that have been posted here for these tractors and so far the dealers in my area are not even close. Do I live in an area where dealers are making the big bucks or what?? (Southern Tier of NY)
Tractor Quotes as follows:

B7610 HSD R4-- $10,850.00
LA352 Loader----$3,400.00
B4672-16” BH ---$7,000.00
Total----------------$21,150.00 Same Equipment Dealer 2------$19,766.54

B7800 HSD R4---$12,250.00
LA402 Loader ---$3,600.00
BH75-16” BH----$7,300.00
Total---------------$23,150.00 Same Equipment Dealer 2 -------$21,475.04

B2630 HSD R4
LA403 Loader w/ 60” Bucket
HH75- 16” BH
Dealer 2 price--------$22,132.00

John Deere 2520 R4
200CX Loader W/61” Bucket
46 Backhoe
Total------------------------$21,000.00

I don’t know but I’m starting to feel really green in more ways than one. I’m starting to feel like all dealers in my area are playing games or maybe I look like a sucker. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gifAny and all comments and suggestion welcome.

Thanks Brian

Brian,

You may want to do some checking or getting quotes over the internet. From what I have seen here on TBN is the North east is one of the more expensive areas. I am not tottally familiar with the rigs your pricing but from what I bought they look expensive. I don't know what the internet quotes will do for you other than you may be able to show your dealers what you can buy for else where. They may or may not do anything about it.

Best of luck and welcome to TBN.

edit here . You may also want to check other brands just to make your dealers sharpen up some.

When I bought my tractor I noticed the prices in the southern states were, are cheaper then up in the northern states. I ended going 300 miles to the south of my state and saved $400. Go figure. That price difference was in the same state.

As others have noted, the northeast is about the most expensive place to buy a tractor other than Canada. There are some internet savvy dealers, well represented on this forum, who would almost certainly be able to undercut those prices. Your quotes all look a couple of thousand high to me. If you buy out of state the transport/tax saving tend to cancel out so you're still better off if you can get a better price.

Last summer I looked for a new tractor in the Southern Tier and found the Deere and Kubota dealers didn't want to deal at all. When I told the Kubota guy I could get the other Orange tractor for a lot less than he was quoting me he said they were Johnny come lately tractors and if I thought they were so good I should buy one. I told him I'd heard the same thing about Kubota not too many years ago. I bought the other Orange tractor and it has done everything I ask it to do and more.

Sounds like you and I may well have spoken to the same person. Wow, I still get a chuckle out of that conversation. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Try C. H. Waltz and sons. They are located in the Williamsport Pa. area.Ask for Craig, I have purchased two Kubotas from him and found my deal better than anything on the internet. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I do not know about your area. But you can get list prices for the <font color="orange"> Kubota </font> tractors at this site. Click Here
Price for B2630 is good.
The <font color="green"> JD </font> 2520 and <font color="orange"> Kubota </font>B7610 have 72" BH's. The BH75 is 90". The extra depth is great to have.

I ended up with NH TC24. The tractor and loader prices were comparable, but the BH was $5500. This was two years ago though. Up here prices are tough. My suggestion would be to check out Kioti and NH. I think the NH's list a bit higher than the Kubota, but it's a very capable tractor.

Also, Maybe try a different brand BH. I prefer going with the tractor manufactures brand, but it's an option.

Now that's funny ! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I had a similar experience with the local John Deere dealership. I don't buy from anyone who bad mouths another brand.

I wanted a price on a Woods PRD8400 finish mower and my local dealer told me $3100. A kind gentelman on this site told me that it would be $2700 from them. Quite a difference in price but the cheaper one is one state south. I may just have to make a road trip! On the other hand my local dealer was the cheapest on a Woods RB84 rear blade. It pays to shop around.

Have you called Killough Farm Equipment, Milton, Indiana
765-825-1439 ? They are Woods #1 dealer in Indiana. Ask for Bill.

 

[pekabu]

Have yoiu talked to Carver Equipment? They are a TBN sponsor and from there website a BH runs approx $5900.

 

[Newblue]

CCI- Wow! I just talked to Killough Farm Equipment and they said $2240 for the same mower. Going to Milton next week after the farm show. Thank you very much. Mrs. Newblue has alloted me $3000 for the finish mower so hmmm - maybe a new boxblade to go with the mower would be nice!

Thanks again,
Mike

I've known Bill Killough for some time. He is a hard working straight shooter. You can take what he says to the bank.
