My dealer sells both NH and Kubota. The T4050 Deluxe that I bought was on the lot and he had it for several months, though it is a 2009 model.
The T4050 Deluxe comes with a cab, which I did not really want. I was looking for a
M7040 Kubota open station but simply could not pass up the deal that I was offered on the T4050, cab or otherwise. The T4050 also has Supersteer, which I definitely did want for maneuverability. I drove a T4030 without Supersteer but it would not turn closely enough for me, nor would it turn as closely as the
M7040, which has vertical pinions rather than CV joints. This is the feature that initially attracted me to the Kubota.
My T4050 also has dual remotes, a mid mount valve with joystick, and the tractor was advertised with a "free radio." I was not looking for a radio but it retails for around $300 so I took it rather than taking the significantly lower dealer cost deduction that I could have taken.
I also bought a front weight package (6 weights and bracket), 4 rear weights, arm rests, dual outside mirrors, an 820TL FEL with third function loader valve and a Kasko snow/material blade for the FEL.
Ignoring the FEL and blade, my dealer told me that he could not spec out a 62 HP
M7040 with cab for the price that I paid for the 80 HP T4050 with weights, radio, third function loader valve, arm rests, mirrors, etc.
The current NH incentives expire on 11/30 but nearly everyone expects that they will be replaced with new incentives that are at least as attractive.
It is my understanding that Kubota offers attractive financing terms, similar to those offered by NH but no cash incentivevs, while NH offers either one or the other (not both). I took the cash as discount against the price and wrote a check.
