[inseeme]

All I can compare to is a 400 hr M6800 with cab, loader and industrials for 39000 Canadian.

 

[inseeme]

this is for farm tires not r4"s

 

[BSawyer]

Sounds like it may be a great deal to me. I picked up a M6800 with R4 tire upgrade only, no attachments and after taxes my delivered price was about $24.1k

With all of your upgrades it sounds pretty good.

 

[BSawyer]

I forgot to say with the R4 tires the syncro-shuttle shift was not an option. So mine has Hydraulic-shuttle.

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. When I get home I will look and see what mine cost.Only thing I had extra on mine when I got it was a Bush Hog front end loader.

Sounds a bit redundant to me.

Is this a NEW tractor?
Do you need 4WD?
Where are you located?

 

[inseeme]

brand new tractor, shuttle shift and yes i need 4wd, i think its a good deal been out of town a couple of days going to check with couple more dealers tomorrow, i live in stoneville, nc

That sounds like to pretty good deal to me also. I just priced the same tractor last week at my local dealer (M6800, LA1002 w/ QA plate, 72” QA bucket). Out the door, but not delivered, it was $27,900. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif If I can get a deal like you’re getting I might reconsider the tractor!

My biggest question is - Is the loader Kubota brand?

The dealer may have cut a lot off a price with a 3rd party loader. I stayed with Kubota brand and got the LA1162 loader. No regrets.

 

[inseeme]

yes, definitely a kubota loader, i wouldn't have it any other way. have you run any other attachement other that the bucket on your front end loader, such has a grappl or auger??? /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Not one that I would turn down.

Hi, I'm a bit late coming to this party.

I've got the M6800HD with the LA1162 loader. Note both the hydraulic shuttle and the upgraded loader which add somewhat to the cost so be sure to compare apples-to-apples.

I really like both the hydraulic shuttle and the loader. I settled on the M6800 rather easily but agonized over these choices for a while. The hydraulic shuttle is probably not a big deal for a tractor that is going to be utilized primarily at the 3pt but my plan was to straddle ag tractor/bobcat functionality. With my loader and loader attachment percentage usage probably above average for an ag tractor, the LA1162 was a good choice - you seem to be contemplating a similar thing by your questions. The self-leveling feature is great for fork use. Besides the bucket I also use a tree puller device, boom pole and snow plow on the loader arms.

 

[inseeme]

mine will be delivered this friday, and I am really looking forward to it. WHere did you buy most of your attachements for your loader?

 

[EdK]

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Where did you buy most of your attachments for your loader?)</font>

Here, there, and everywhere...

Original dealer supplied bucket with loader (not local dealer)
Local Kubota dealer supplied Woods forks
Ebay for skidsteer type 8' snow plow with hydraulic angle
Manufacturer in Canada (Scissons) for tree puller

 

[inseeme]

just curious, what exactly do you do with the tree puller, logging?

 

[EdK]

The tree puller is really for a use situated in between mowing and logging - brush to small (4-5" max) trees. I have a number of areas too overgrown for a rotary cutter but not heavy enough to be "logged" the tree puller is perfect for that. Also - it leaves no roots so the land can be more easily cultivated.

 

[inseeme]

That looks like an awesome attachment, my m 6800 came in friday, got to put 3 hours on it saturday, really enjoy it. back to your attachment what did the tree puller run??

 

[EdK]

$1100 delivered in 2002. On the one hand quite a bit. On the other hand (1) I sketched it, brought it to a local fab shop and they wouldn't touch that price and (2) trucking at today's rates from Ontario, CA to NH, USA would probably be around $300 so the manufacturer is grossing $750-800. I don't think that's too unreasonable for a low-volume high-quality implement.
