Price Check L2501 package price check

[RelativelyEasy]

Been reading for quite awhile now, and the stars have finally aligned for me to move forward with my tractor. I've got a large former logging tract with about 15 years of natural regrowth that needs the roads/trails kept up, brushpiles moved and burned, and eventually food plots put in.

I'm looking at:

• L2501 HST 4x4
• R1 tires, loaded
• 525 quick attach style loader/bucket
• 1860 medium duty cutter
• 18' trailer

After talking with my dealers around GA, I was quoted 21250 plus tax for that package. Does that sound reasonable? I looked through some other recent threads but didn't see quite the same mix of implements.

Did you try building the package on Kubota's website to compare the offer to MSRP? That's where I started on my recent shopping trip for a BX. Did it for a couple of other brands also.

Great user name, welcome to TBN! google Kubota package deals, in addtion to what the previous poster said. That can give you a ball park.

That sounds pretty reasonable to me.

I also think your choice of tractor and implements are very sound as well. The 2501 is a very capable, very rugged, very adaptable tractor.

It sounds to me like you have done your homework.:thumbsup::cool2:

If driving and parking is not a problem I'd recommend getting a larger trailer. Then when you get more attachments they can come along.

My B7610 w/ Box Blade barely fit on my 18 footer,


And my M4700 barely fits by itself.

We priced a 2501 4x4, fel, ag tires, SSQA with 3rd function and it alone was 18,375

you will probably want to add a 3rd function valve to it. it will probably add $7 a mo to payment.

If you are moving a lot of brush a grapple is a time and back saver. You will need the 3rd function to operate it.

I had fooled around with the package, but I went back per your suggestion. It priced out at 19,834.00 (MSRP cash) not including the LP1860, trailer, or filled tires. Based on the internet, the LP1860 MSRP is $1813 (minus $350 from the Orange Plus discount) , so total MSRP without the trailer and filled tires is $21297 if I did the math right. The dealer said they would do the package minus the trailer for 2400 off (so $18850).

Congratulations for including the RCR1860 in the package. Lots of internet package deals include ridiculously short trailers and 12 series implements. Were i you, I would look closely at that 18 foot trailer and decide if it is long enough to carry your equipment safely and comfortably.

A 20' trailer is much more versatile for hauling tractors with implements and doesn't cost much more or take up much more storage space. Especially with smaller loads, you have more room to balance the load on the deck.

 

[crashz]

The pricing looks great, (much less than what I paid here in the Northeast) and agree with the others here about trailer length. I bought an 18 ft trailer. Its just a little too short. 20' would be perfect.

 

[dodge man]

Not 100% sure but if the trailer is decent, with brakes, seems like it would cost closer to $2700 around here.

Same here. Make sure you are getting 5k axles on it. 3k of trailer, pushing 4k of tractor with loader & loaded tires. 1k per implement. That pushes you past the safety margin for a pair of 3.5k axles.

Fitting a tractor & implements on a trailer is one thing. Balancing it properly for 10-15% tongue weight is another. You need extra room to adjust the load as well for any impliments. Go for a 20' if you can.

Get the longest trailer you can manage. I have a 20ft. Wouldn't go smaller if I were shopping today.
I also have a L3301 with loader and a 1860 cutter.
It's a nice cutter.

 

[RelativelyEasy]

Thanks folks, with luck it will show up Friday - I asked and the dealer threw in free delivery as well (about a 100 mile roundtrip and no testing the trailer brakes on the mountains yet). Can't wait!

 

[riptides]

Congrats. Enjoy your tractor. Take lots of pictures.

Another vote for a longer trailer if you have space... My B2650 with a flail mower on the back and a grader/scraper strapped down up front just about maxes out my 20’ deck.

Btw, my total loaded weight here is 7,600#. A little over 3K of that is the 10K rated trailer.

 

[rodneyn]

What is typical cost 10k weight - 20 ft trailer bring in your location. No doubt that is well built trailer. Is It worth the effort to come 1000 miles for the cost savings of the trailer.
