L3400HST $$$

If it had 28 hrs on it he may have used a "demo" discount on it.
Might be hard for a dealer with a brand new one on the lot to sell it for that.

I am amazed at the pricing you are discussing. I live in Canada and the same tractor here is at least $8,000 more.

I too have been contemplating trying to buy from a dealer close to home, but money talks more than neighborly hospitability when you are contemplating a major brand like Kubota.

Good luck with your buy.

Jimmy, welcome to Canadian pricing

I talked to a Kubota dealer in December though who quoted me a price for a L3540 which sounded like they were adjusting prices downward to compete with the cross border shopping.

I've pondered getting a tractor with a Cab and so talked to them about trading in my L3400 for a cabbed L3540. The price on the L3540 was decent enough for me to move but what the offerred on my L3400 with only 82 hours was an insult. Didn't feel like trying to sell privately so I just figured I would hang on to it for a few more years and dream about a cab later on

Something else you should know Jimmy is that Kubota USA is not letting USA dealers sell to Canadians. While I'm sure it can be done, it is likely a hassle to find a dealer in the USA and a cousin in the USA for him to sell the tractor to.

I just recently got another quote from a dealer about 50 miles from me. $16,550

My local dealer (Hammond, LA) quoted me $17,280.00 for the same set up you are looking at (L3400HST 4wd w/loader) and one up the road in MS quoted me $16,900.00.

If I can get one down to $16,550.00 I'd jump on it.

I paid $17,083 for the tractor with loader and AG tires a few months ago. Sounds about right.

Mine was $17,300 with loaded R4's delievered. I wanted a dealer nearby. He has also made me some very good deals on implements.

That's what I paid as well.

Just to be clear my L3400 hst with 28 hrs was considered used therefore the price break is what happens to most machines as they leave the lot. Here on the coast of SC a lot of folks buy new boats and they end up sitting in the yard 364 days a year. The price of a good used boat is thousands below retail! But I am the same guy who never (almost never!) buys a new vehicle.
A tractor with less then 100 hrs to me is still new unless a newbie severly abused it. A well know car salesman down here says at the end of every commercial that everyone drives a used car.

I was ready to jump on that deal untill I started looking at the L3240. Now I dont know what I'm going to do. Kubota just has too many to choose from.
