Price Check new year old tractor price

I just bought a L5740 similar to the way the one you are looking at is set up. That seems like a fair deal. I would estimate it at about 12% below last years prices (there was an increase in March). You might poke at what you could get him to throw in to sweeten the deal. After all, you are trying to help him out on some slow moving stock. I Think filled tires or implement discounts might be pretty achievable.

Looked at kubota web site and came up with a list price of $37200 so 12% off would be around $32500 or around $500 more than they were asking. What were the % increase on kubotas in april? I was thinking that dealer told me on the 5740 if this one wasn't available a new one would be around $1200 to $1500 more.

One of the dealers on TBN can probably give a more exact answer on the price increase but I remember it being about 4% which equates to about $1250 here.

Your estimate using the build your kubota app would be more accurate than mine. I made some assumptions on how it was equipped. I assumed:

ROPS
HST
4WD
1 float detent remote
FEL
Quick attach
Std QA bucket

That priced at $37550 MSRP. The QA adds a few hundred but its AWESOME. Totally worth it in my eyes. Regardless, the deal seems to be fair, and if you can get some goodies tacked on there I would call it a pretty good one. Good luck in your negotiations.

Good to know that the price isn't to far off, went to look at an mx5100 but the 5740 sure was nice, really liked the auto throttle advance and the joystick location . Still looking at a kioti and mahindra tractor but still haven't convinced myself that in the future I will be able to walk in and get parts when needed from those two brands. I wish kubota had a tractor between the 5100 and 5740 because the 5100 isn't the tractor I want, just don't know if I can justify spending around seven thousand more for the 5740 and kubota's reputation.
