L45TLB Info

[MessickFarmEqu]

We just had a used L48 with 1000 hours for 26k.

Yes, prices have gone up. Some of the change was material costs, other part was emmisionization changes.

Pricing on tractors is about the highest in the north east than it is anywhere else in the country... thus why so many people drive down to PA to buy tractors.

I have been told just the opposite, That prices in PA are the highest in the country. That may be the reason we sell so many tractors in PA.

Sounds like a formal gentlemen's duel. Choose your weapons (sharpen your pencils) and we'll all meet at the Kubota Corral (respective showrooms) at sunrise!

I appreciate hearing the opinions from two respected dealers.

Here is the Front cover and rear cover for the L45TLB Brochure

Oh well,

Kubota did not listen to my suggestion to put a 43 x16-20 in rear and 10.5 x 16.5" tire in front.

These slightly larger tires would then have put it more of a direct competitor to the JD 110 and a bit closer to the old L48.

Nice 4 in 1 bucket in the brochure!

Thanks for the vote of confidence Muleskinner! We've had some L48s with pretty low hours (<1000) for less than $25K. We have one left and hope to have one more traded for. But things are a little less toward the south.

I am not sure on pricing, but when I buy machines I check both dealerships here in NH and they are always within a close margin. How much are people out there paying for new L48s and M59s? I was told the prices went up about $1,800+/- due to fuel, steel, and rubber alone since March. Even used L48s with low hours are way past $30K+.

There are 4 Kubota dealeaships in NH, not two. I got mine from #3. I think we can agree which one of the 4 usaually trys to sell for the most. If you include northern MA and VT you have 8 dealerships to shop.

There is no difference in the price book between NY or Maine to Florida or Seattle or California! There is a difference in freight getting them to the dealer and of coarse the northern dealers operations do cost a little more do to winter.

This amounts to a smaller price difference then southern dealers might want you to! There are ways to lower prices, some people might not mind! As one southern dealer stated, he's kind of like a mail order house, doesn't have to worry about warrantee problems because the people send them to there local dealer so he doesn't have those extra diagnostic costs to contend with and the time with customers to learn how to operate the equipment properly.

You have lots of dealerships in New England, all of whom I found charge way too much.

Bought my m59 quite happily from Neil Messick, just like my B3030.

Warranty has been handled through the phone, not local dealers, which is fine by me.
