This is true of my 6' box blade and 6' rotary cutter. So far, I have no complaints. I'll condition this statement with the fact that these implements are the first I've owned.:2cents:

What size back and mount system for backhoe did you get

What size backhoe I mean

LS makes their own FEL, so it's quite different from implements. Each dealer can source implements from one of a couple of companies that make implements, so if I look at a tiller at the local dealer, and you look at one at your dealer, they might be made by different companies. My dealer uses Taylor Way for implements. I'm sure they're solid, but a few of the welds were disappointing on the few items I've looked at.

I recall reading somewhere that Ameriquip made LS loaders in the US. Could be mixing that up with another brand though.

Windcatcher - you should check the pricing... I am pretty sure that by the time you add 2 rear remotes to a G3033, you can just buy a R3039 instead.....

I thought that was the company making them for the Boomer and Farmall B versions, but I could be mistaken as well.

It sounds like I might take a ride to check one out.

thanks, any idea on what a BH would add to it?

I haven't priced that model, but going off memory from what other folks have posted, I'd expect $6-7k.

I argee with this statement. The numbers on the quote for the tiller and brush hog I am getting are the same as the Taylor Pittsburgh labled implements.

Ok. Here's some figures I have:

My dealer who is about 6.8 miles from me - will deliver all for no charge - that means a lot to me as I own a Toyota Matrix, and there is no way this stuff will fit in or on that car.

Tractor w FEL $16,100
Backhoe $5,300
5 ft Tiller $1,323.90
5 ft rotary cutter $1078.02
Tax: $1606.63
Total: $25408.55 (add $400.00 for 1 additional pair of rear hydro ports, so it is $25908.55) One set of rear hydro ports comes with the backhoe.

G 3033 with Ag tires and skid steer loader 15,288 add 1099 for Hydrostatic drive
Backhoe with sub frame and 16 inch bucket installed 6488
5 foot LMC cutter built out of channel instead of angle ( stronger) 719
66 inch foot King Kutter tiller 1259
We give 50 miles FREE Delivery but I will deliver to you for 99.00 It would normally run 233
24853 * 1.0675 = 26530.58 + 233 = 26763.58 This is the Salemburg, NC dealer.




Agri supply 5 ft Tiller = $1869.95 + tax
Agri Supply 5 ft rotary cutter = 925.95 + tax These two = $2795.9 + tax = $ 2984.62

Tractor Supply 5 ft Tiller = 1,599 + tax
Tractor Supply 5 ft rotary cutter = 849.00 + tax These two = 2488.00 + tax = 2613.24


LS 5 ft tiller = $1,323.90
LS 5 ft rotary cutter = $1078.02 These two = $2401.92 + tax = $2564.05 (winner)

Magnus580 - I did check on the R3039. Higher price and it's too much horse power for the implements I already own. The G3033H is pushing the limit on HP. My plow is rated at 25 max HP, and my disc harrow is rated at 30 HP max.

Backhoe will have a 16" bucket on it. Model LB1102. Has the under frame mount. Was told LS wouldn't warranty the tractor with a 3 Pt hitch style backhoe. With the pricing I'm seeing, why mess with something like that. Use their model and if it breaks, I'm under warranty.

Delivery of the equipment and pickup/delivery for repairs is a big deal for me. I don't have a truck or anything I can use/borrow to get it back to the dealer. I'd rather pay a bit more up front for those services and have the piece of mind than to have to worry about down time.

Are those the final prices or what he's pulling off a paper?

Have you started dickering yet?

Those are getting REAL close to a Mahindra/Kubota.
