Hello, I am new here and looking to purchase my first tractor. I have a couple of quotes I would like to get some help with. Can you guys with more knowledge than myself look this pricing over and tell me what you think if its fair or not. One is for a new XR3135H and one is for a 100 hr XR4040H. I know nothing about tractors, I just purchased my first peice of property, need something to mow the open areas with and get wood out of my property to bring back up to the house. Will be using box blade to keep trails smooth and level as well as my gravel driveway.

Thanks

Welcome to TBN.....

Either tractor will do the tasks you mentioned.

The XR4040H is a 4000 series tractor with a Shibaura engine first introduced in 2013. Nothing wrong with that. The 3000/4000 series tractors all have Shibaura engines and regeneration cycles in at about every 5 hours of use. I've had my XR3037HC for 3 years now without any problems.

The XR3135H introduced in 2015 is the newer version of my XR3037HC. The 3100/4100 series tractors come with an LS built engine with regeneration claimed to be 50 hours between cycles.

HP, Loader lift and 3 pt. lift capacities are slightly higher on the 4040 over the 3135. 4040 also has larger tires than 3135.
4040 - 40HP, loader lift 2500 lb, 3 pt lift 2756 lb.
3135 - 35HP, loader lift 2178 lb, 3 pt lift 1808 lb.

I think that's a fair deal on the 3135. We just paid $26,200 for our XR3135HC (cab) w/ loader back in September, but found a better deal on implements elsewhere.

I think the deal for the 4040 with 100 hours could be a little better, though. Regardless of where it's been used, it's still used.

Would it be fair to assume that the implements should be at least 10-15% off MSRP?

3135H: 22.6K is a fair price for the tractor/loader open station, some areas of the country are cheaper, some more expensive, so you're in the hunt.

A dealer near me has a new XR3135H with loader that he's offered at $25K. Considering freight to Alaska probably adds around $3K on a tractor, your quote is spot on compared to mine.

I just got an XR4040H with FEL/QA a few weeks ago for $22,000. Great tractor, and it only had 2 hours on it. I would think that the price they want should be a bit lower for slightly used. I got the hydrostatic transmission so it would be easier for my wife and kids to operate. Dealer had a great deal on a XR3037 Shuttle with FEL/QA for under $17,500 I think.
Sorry, I'm no help on implement price. Just know to shop around, especially if they want MSRP.
Good luck.

Compared to Smally13's XR4040H price the quote jbo99 got IS a little high for a 100 hour tractor. Also hard to believe dealer is giving no discounts on any attachments on either model.

I encountered two local dealers like that, George. One told me he was just going to get them from Rural King and resell them to me, as he didn't carry any implements. The other told me I could likely find a better deal on my own. We bought our rear blade and rotary cutter from RK. So, I'm not at all surprised at a quote for MSRP.

I bought an XG3135H the other day for $19,750. 5' Bush Hog rotary cutter for $1500 and an "LS" box blade (standard import model with LS badging) for $750. I didn't haggle on the price. That's what the dealer quoted and it sounded fair to me.

I'm not sure of the differences between the XG and XR. This one doesn't have remotes (he said he could add them for about $400 per), or extendable lower arms.

They loaded the tires for $350 and threw in a block heater. I was out the door for $22,350, no tax, delivered.
