kubota L5030 prices in New Hampshire

MessickFarmEqu · Jun 2, 2004

Just an FYI, I am sure this varies from person to person, but when I am asked to price out each and every item in a package individualy the customer will almost always end up with a higher bottom line than If I package everything together. I know someone mentioned asking for a breakdown, I would get a package price and ask how much to drop a component or two.

When I purchased my L3000DT I checked all the dealers in New Hampshire and the prices were almost identical. I purchased my tractor from Pinnacleview.

This is the second tractor I have bought from them, the first was a used one. They provided very good service for the two warrantee issues which needed to be addressed.

Whenever I have stopped for oil and filters the counter staff has been very helpful. I don't think you will be dissappointed with their service.

Regarding the AC, ask in the Kubota forum as a member has worked a bit with kubota to solve the problem.

( I will wager that Chappell in Milford will give you the best New Hampshire price.)

My experience has been exactly the opposite. Chappell always quoted a higher
price for anything I asked. MB in Plaistow was about $3K lower for my tractor
compared to Chappell. Though Chappell does strike me as having their act
more together than MB.

You will love the Kubota LXX30 cab. I have the factory cab on my year old L3430. Absolutely no problems with the AC. It works great. I asked my dealer if they have heard of any others having problems with the AC. None that they know of.

I found that thepricing on implements and accessories from Chappel more then made up for any difference in tractor price. The fact that Chappel is 10 minutes way is tough to beat and I've been very happy with the service. You'll love the 5030 /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

thanks for all the great replies - i have another quote for the same setup:

chappell came in @ 42,055. they did not provide a line item cost, just a quote for the entire package.

so the difference between the 2 dealers is nearly the same. it comes out to ~7% off MSRP. ironcially, it appears that both dealerships are using a standard deduction (around 7%) when putting the prices together. again, this stinks for those of us living in NH - this tractor is selling for much less than in other parts of the US.

i may be speaking with MB (tilton) next, however, i think what this is going to come down to is which dealer do i feel most comfortable with?

i'll be putting a large cash deposit down - and will be buying many more implements over the next 30 years as i transition into early retirement. perhaps this will help get the deal i need..

incidently, can anyone recommend a standard of practice for making an offer on this tractor? again, i'm young - and will be spending lots of $ on implements moving forward.. i'm hoping this will allow me to get that price down in the $38,000 range (~4k less than my current quote).

thanks again for all the help!

If you get Chappell to discount to the tune of 10% you will be entered into
the Guinness World Records. And you'll need to share your secret with all
of us unless Chappell has you under a NDA.

I just took a break making hay and was "lurking" myself.

It's me with the AC problem, but it's fixed (myself). I guess it don't get warm enough up there for the AC to work hard and as far as your dealer, have him call Kubota in Torrance, California, they know about the problem. I'd say your dealer is blowing some hot air himself.

I just finished bailing in the field and it's 80+ here. No problems.

The other fellow that wants a price quote, well, I'd opt out of the radio. The cab unit comes pre-wired (the leads are in the left upright (facing forward). The Kubota radio is inflated to say the least. I had my dealer install a Panasonic am-fm weather band (which I need in the field) for 1/2 the list price of the Kubota radio.

The rear wiper also comes with a defroster grid. get the front and rear work lights they are really bright.

I am against loaded tires, heck, I drag around hay mowers, balers and rakes and never had needed them. I'd not get a 5030 for tillage work, it doesn't have the power for plowing or the weight. It's been said numerous times on this site, BUY FROM THE DEALER WHO WILL GIVE YOU SERVICE AFTER THE SALE. I'm not saying you will ever need the dealer, but I don't buy on price alone. If you are so concerned about getting the lowest price, maybe you should step down a model that you can realistically afford.

Andy, I like the TN's, you know I run NH haying implements, but, the TN series is a bit more money and the TC's have no comforts like a cab. I am always jabbing the local dealer about that. We just picked up a new BR 760 rounder today. NH is at 0 percent on Ag equipment for 3 years.
