Kioti Purchase Ck3510se HST Cab - Unrealistic Expectations ? Looking for advice

[roscoe7803]

Am I being unrealistic? Looking for advice.
This will be my first tractor purchase I was looking at a Kioti CK3510SE HST Cab tractor with loader KL4030C, mid pto as I want a front snow blower (intend to purchase it this Summer), R14 tires, bolt on cutting edge, lift rod kit.
I live in Ontario Canada. the price was $39,500 Cdn + HST.
I have never paid sticker price for anything however in this case it was a take it or leave it price. I first walked away and then swallowed my pride and agreed to asking price.
Went to make a cash down pmt and lo and behold the 66" bucket had become a 60" bucket. Bait and switch?

I dislike it when a sales person tells me one thing and then it is another?

I walked away.

Am I being unrealistic?

I can wait till the fall to make a purchase if I have to.

Any thoughts / advice?

Thank you

Sounds odd that the salesman/dealer would be willing to blow a sale over the FEL bucket size. They surely have a 66" bucket somewhere on the premises. Just swap it out, sheesh.

Get the right bucket size. You are in the right.

That price makes me want to vomit a little, but times are changed, and I'm not sure what the eagles-to-syrup dollar ratio is like currently.

Note that the loader is not a KL4010 it is a KL4030C (Canadian) and the bucket size as quoted was 66".

Well this is the Kubota subforum for starters....

But aside from that, sounds like you need everything in writing before you give them any money. Any other suitable brands/dealers nearby?

As of today it would be USD$31,285.

The KL4030C is available with either a 60" or 66" bucket, according to Kioti.

Indeed, it technically is. But having a bucket narrower than the tires.... just silly.

This dealer was the closet to me also the best price for what it's worth.
There are others but some have no stock.

Oh, I agree.. 66" bucket is they way to go.
