Sorry, I know this is an old thread, but how in the world were you guys getting these quotes?? I've been quoted 21-22K (2 different dealers) for a CT335 with FEL in North Carolina. Have they gone up or was there just on heck of a deal over the summer??
Largest Bobcat CT w/FEL for ~$14-15k?

Hi Panaxman,
Most of the prices you see are from people who purchased their machines before Jun 15th. Bobcat was overstocked with tractors and had massive rebates ~$3500 for cash buyers plus free front end loaders ~$2500. Making the final prices roughly 6k lower than they are now. The rebate amount and value assigned to the FEL varied slightly by model. Some dealers offered additional discounts for old stock/inventory further driving the price down.
Bobcat offered the rebate and discount for an additional month on the CT230, many people (and dealers) jumped on that deal. As such they are now in a back-order situation with many people waiting for tractors since July (such as myself).

Man I wish I would have been in the market then...I'm not much on one brand or the next, but from some of the quotes I saw on here and other places, it looked like I could get a lot of bang for my buck with Bobcat. Right now, though, they are pretty much in line with all the rest. Because of that, I'm looking at a MF 1533 (well that and the dealer is 3 miles from home).
In no hurry. May just wait it out through the winter
Thanks Steve!!

Yes the price went up after the factory incentive program ended. Last June we ordered a CT335 w/FEL, back blade, & fluid filed tires for $17,200. A guy down the road liked ours so much he went to the our dealer and tried to purchase the same setup. The dealer quoted him $22,900. The incentive program included $3,500 rebate and free FEL.
