OK everyone, time for me to give back a little and post some information. I am in the process of shopping for a tractor in the 40 HP range, therefore have been looking at Kubota's 4240/4740, JD's 4120/4320, and will be also looking at NH's TC40A/TC45A. So, for all you JD folks, here is my report so far:
- Tractor JD 4120 Power Reverser = $21,025
(Includes R1's, Filled Rear Tires, Dual Mid and Single Rear SCV)
- Tractor JD 4320 Power Reverser = $22,760
(Includes R1's, Filled Rear Tires, Dual Mid and Single Rear SCV)
- 400cx Loader, 73" HD Bucket = $4,600
- 3rd Loader Function Lines & Hoses = $291.00
- Tooth Bar = $365.00
- (3) Hooks on Bucket = $75.00
- Rear Light Kit = $110.00
- Front Light Kit = $44.000
- Engine Block Heater = $150.00
- Rear Tire Chains = $285.00
- Power Beyond = $275.00
- Telescoping Draft Links = $265.00
Total (4320) = $29,220
Prices are from Vermont, and not reduced by any hageling. Sorry, I am a gear guy so that is that.
My comments so far...great tractor (obvious). The Power Reverser transmission is really really nice. It is very smooth. I like it a lot. Comfort and ergonomics are first rate. JD is offering 0% for 36 months...Kubota is not for it's Grand L40's right now (big mistake I think).
What does JD need to do? The third loader function needs to be an option that doesn't work off the rear SCV. The function needs to be controlled right off the loader joystick right from the factory (no WR Long aftermarket type required). They do this on the 5x25 series I think...add it to the 4x20 series...maybe even the 3x20 series.
That's all I have for now...let the chatter begin!
