Got my 1st quote for M5040HDC VS L4740HST with Cabs

[chuckcoug]

They are both with cabs. I am sure of that. Other options could be different. Maybe the 2nd or higher quote is gold plated or something.

The 1st, lower quote is from a local dealer.

The 2nd, higher quote is from the internet.

I wonder what a good price would be for a M5040 with cab?

Maybe someone will have an idea.

Hey what up with this price. I just got this price.
Kubota M5040 DTHSC
50HP\45 PTO HP, 8F-8R hydraulic shuttle shift, cat 1-11 hitch
w\3300 lift cap., weight 4000 lbs, heated\AC cab
$53,880.00

What gives. My 1st quotes was M5040HDC 4W/D for $34,144.00

What do the letter HDC vs DTHSC stand for? What am I missing here. This is a $20,000.00 difference. That a HUGE difference!!!!!!

HDC = 4WD Utility utility tractor with hydraulic shuttle and Ultra Grand cab

DTC = 4WD Utility utility tractor with Synchro shuttle and Ultra Grand cab

I show no listing for a DTHSC.

There is about a $1500 price difference between the two with the HDC being more expensive.

BTW, $34,000 is a great price. You are basically getting the loader for free.

I've got it!!
DTHSC stands for "Did they hide some crack" in it?
That would explain things.

Seriously, get your dealer to guarantee you that price quote for a certain amount of time. Don't feel rushed to decide. But if that truly is such a great quote then make him stick to it for some time while you're deciding.

I imagine the internet price (53K) was the MSRP. I just got a M7040, cab, loader (self leveling)..72'bucket, second remote, shuttle, air-ride, bale spear, grill guard.. (I think they put this on all the tractors with loaders), CI rear wheels and beet juice for 38.6K. I priced another local area dealer who was pretty close to that also

Not even close. MSRP for his configuration is between $39K and $40K depending on tire options.

 

[IslandTractor]

How about a typo as an explanation: 35,000 instead of 53,000???

Otherwise, maybe it was the optional massage suspension heated ventilated iPod equipped seat that bumped up the price.

That might be, but the MSRP for my 7040 without loader was 45K...add a cab and loader and it gets right up there. of couse, the MSRP is just that... a suggestion..and like with cars... something to make you feel good when the dealer comes "down!"

My MSRP estimate came right from the January 2006 Kubota price book.
