Buying Advice Did I get fed a line?

[looch]

I'm getting quotes from a few dealers for a new CK30HST with a backhoe. Keeping in mind I'm north of the border, these are the 2 quotes I have received so far:

Dealer 1, closer to home - Tractor, 20500; Hoe 8600
Dealer 2, a little further - Tractor & Hoe combined, 28900

Here's the thing, Dealer 2's quote is for a CK35HST. His reason for offering it is that the CK30 is being discontinued. Is this true? I haven't been able to find any information on this. What is troubling is that if he is lying, his quote for a larger tractor is less than Dealer 1's.

Either way, I have more quotes I am waiting on, the task of convincing the CFO, establishing a trade-in value for my B7500, and final negotiations.

I bought a ck30 hst a couple of weeks ago. I compared a number of dealers, made sure they all knew that I always get 3 quotes before I buy and found a huge variation from one dealer to another ( thousands ). Even the highest quote I had was a grand cheaper than you have.
I was going to buy the ct35hst for 17500 but was offered the ct30hst for 2 grand less. Called the dealer that I felt would give the best service and offered a little less, he said yes. The bh quote was 7200, wishing now that I bought it but other attachments are higher up the list. These prices included fel and delivery but not taxes, cash money.
I had not heard of the 30 being discontinued.
I am very happy with the tractor so far, 22 hours, all loader and tiller work.

From what dealers did you get quotes from? Tractor price seems fair, but i payed 6150 +tx for a brand knew KB2475, 18 inch bucket, and bigfoot pads. Shopping around is good, but i prefer a good dealer even if it's further away.

I just got a 3rd - 25950 for the CK30HST + KB2475 from Payeur. Dealer 1 is Lefrancois and 2 is Turfcare. I'm actually not that far from the ON border and about 2.5 hours from Ottawa - might have to look over there, too.

I bought my CK30 from payeur, they provide at home service, where as other dealers it's at the shop. Payeur also gave me the 50hr service and did it at my home 3 hours away. The backhoe i did purchase in Ontario, but only because of the price difference. I will diffinently buy from payeur again.

Since you bought the hoe separately, did you consider the Woods?

 

[Kiotikarl]

I also looked at the Woods and the Wallenstein, but both where more expensive than the Kioti BH. Payeur does offer the Kelly BH but it's a 3PT, and i wanted something with a subframe. I like the Kioti BH, but will installe a thumb later, i think the Woods has a thumb option.

Thanks 'karl.

So - is that guy talking through his hat regarding the discontinuation of the CK30?

Can't really help you out on this one, i've heard rumours but nothing serious. The CK30 seems a popular model, so don't know why they would discontinue it. The DK35 SE is discontinued, although many dealers have some on the lot. Anyways on the 4,5,6 of May Payeur is having a ''door open'' and i'll be going, maybe i could get tractor fever again:drool: and upgrade.
