CT2035 pricing

fasttruck860 · Mar 11, 2021

Guys I'm just checking on what people are seeing for 2035 pricing. This is what I was quoted locally and it's quite a bit more than last year when they quoted me, but also includes the box blade and pallet forks. What do you think? The rear remotes and third function are priced as installed. I also plan on getting the EA 55" root grapple.

If I get funding through other sources then I'll also get the free loader which would save a bunch. Anyone know the best place to start looking for financing outside of Bobcat for this?

I think your price looks ok. At my local dealer the 2035 was exactly $450 less than the 2040 - which is why I went a little bigger for a nominal price. My quote is about a week old here.

Also, I tried looking around for separate financing hoping I could then pay “cash” at the dealer and get an incentive of some type. I couldn’t find a non-farm bank (and I don’t have a farm so I could qualify for the loan) that would finance a tractor because they don’t have a title that requires registration. The only way I could figure to do it was 1: personal loan at unGodly rates 2: HELOC/cash out refi - but both of which came with appraisal, funding, loan origination fees, etc.

in the end I opted for 0% and will just make extra payments.

I figured I was going to have a hard time finding outside financing for a tractor. I'm going to look anyways because the difference is the grapple I want plus 3rd function. He did say this doesn't include any discounts although I don't see what discounts would be available on the Bobcat site.

I'm also thinking about the 2040 since I saw the pricing difference on Bobcats site was about $600 or so. What was the lead time to receive your tractor?

Robert_Actual · Mar 12, 2021

We’ll be sure to look at my discounts and ask for the same if not more. I basically got the loader for free and 0% just by asking. There’s also a $400 implement rebate if you buy 3 (not including the loader) so it gives you a pretty heavy discount on one of them. Lastly be sure to verify tax in your zip code vs theirs. If they deliver, you pay yours and if you pick up you pay theirs. The difference could ge a grand or so.

There was no lead time for me, tractor I wanted was sitting on the lot. None of the other stuff however was in stock so it will go back to the shop for install in approx 8-10 weeks once the grapple is in.

For me, at this stage in my land development, this makes the tractor nearly useless day 1 as I need the grapple the most. But at least I have the machine and it’s just a waiting game from there. I might call around this Saturday and see what other companies might have what I’m after and then adjust my sale if possible.

Thanks for all the information. This should really help. I'm also pricing out the similar Kioti just to keep them honest and to see what they come back with. So far it's in the ball park.

Robert_Actual · Mar 12, 2021

Totally agree. The only reason I wasn't willing to go with Kioti was the proximity of the dealer to me - I just couldn't justify driving for 90 min vs 30 min and Bobcat offered the ability of mobile service if needed for a pretty nominal charge.

Watching Ohio Wood Burner LTD on YouTube (has a Bobcat 2040) he said that Bobcat sends you a promo package that includes a 15% off coupon. I'm assuming this is to everyone after messaging him and not just those with a YouTube presence. If this holds true, it might influence what to buy and when.

Best of luck to you

I just started watching OWB lol, I must have missed the promo one. The Kioti dealer is about and hour away from me so I'm in the same boat. Bobcat is next town over which is why I've really focused on them. He agreed to take 10% off the whole package if I use the 0% finance through them.

Snowlan · Mar 12, 2021

In Canada the Kioti dealer nearest me was not competitive with Bobcat on pricing so I went with CT2025. Worse than the pricing difference, I had him quote with the financing option and the quote he handed over included buying the loader and written to look like no interest rate. It had a quoted payment which added up to $4500 more than the total of the package! Looked like he tried to pocket the loader rebate by giving me normal financing instead of 0%.

For anyone looking for the final pricing of a Bobcat CUT this was the best I could get them down to. I live in southern New England. I got the feeling they were selling too many tractors and weren't going to do anymore for my business. They actually told me they are hiring another sales manager specifically to deal with tractors because of the volume. They basically gave me a 10% discount on everything supplied from Bobcat. I did end up going with the CT2040 for the slight uptick in price, I think it's worth it. I could have bought a grapple through Bobcat, but I really wanted the EA Wicked 55" grapple so I'll just purchase that on the side. I was really tempted to move up to a larger CT4045 but decided the $5K difference was just too much right now and I'd rather put the money into my house.

Now a 30-45 day wait.

Have your tried State Farm - they do loans on about everything.

fasttruck860 · Apr 1, 2021

No, I didn't think to try them. Bobcat is offering the 0% and an additional 10% on the order so I thought it was a good enough deal to go with them.

Could anyone on this thread talk to me about your decision to go spring versus detent style rear remotes? Why one over the other?

Robert_Actual · Apr 13, 2021

Rear remote, to detent or not to detent?

I'd like the valves/control handles to fit and work in the factory location. AT least to start. I really don't want to 'hang' some valves on my tractor, at least not just yet. I'm still not clear on the terminology of Float, Detent, Spring Return, SCV, Single Acting, Double Acting, Open...

Float vs detent?

Can you help me understand float vs detent for the rear remotes? I want to operate a box scraper, and a hydraulically controlled landscape rake / blade combo. In theory I know that a "float" can let the box scraper drag across the ground just using gravity. But I'm confused if I need one...

Just got my CT2040 last week! It took 60 days after $500 deposit on February 9th. I paid $19,700 out the door with FEL and added telescopic 3pt arms and sway stabilizers.

sheamus · Jun 8, 2021

I am being quoted $25,900CAD + tax. But that with no options. Tractor is in stock. Does have the FL8 FEL.

It looks like they through in labour for the hydraulic kits for you? Or are you installing?

That's basically the same price I was charged for my CT2040 paying cash. After the dealer applied their stupid fees my free loader ended up being about the same as your discount. So, I suspect the dealer is getting the free loader from Bobcat and passing along some of the discount to you.

Are you in Canada? The dealer here has a 2040 and 2035 in stock. He said the best he can do on the 2040 is $28,500 with all fees (except tax).

I hear a lot of people saying the 2040 and 2035 price difference can be less than $1k. I mentioned that to sales guy, and he said that they have had the 2035 since spring, and so they got a better deal from factory on it. The price they pay keeps going up, and the got the 2040 in recently, so his guess was they didn't get as good of a deal on it. Anyway, for the $2600, I think I'll stick with the 2035.

I tried in person to get a better price, or anything. Said I'll hand over my card right now. He said at the $25,900 he couldn't throw in a hat. He also mentioned that factory prices just went up 5% on all their new orders. So I know some are getting better deals, but I am guessing this the best deal I will get for the next 6 months, as he mentions factory prices have gone up a few times since Jan when they placed their first orders.

I told him I was going to think on it until he gets back to me on how good of a price he can give me on rear remotes. But I will likely just do the deal.

No, I'm in the southwest US. The price difference between the CT2040 and CT2035 should be less than $600 US.
