Price Quotes for 5600D

[UFM82]

It's always been one of my "life decisons" to never buy a new model of anything. However, your observation is somewhat true about it not being "brand new". But, the machine did experience a substantial redesign. The entire frame structure is different! The suspension is different. The engine location is different.
I don't know how the new machine will do but Bobcat does a decent job of updating as they find weaknesses. No machine out there is 100% perfect so I can't tell you that the D series is the ultimate machine. I do know that once the data from the previous models was really analyzed, the fixes are incorporated into the D machine. Cooling, the ride, attachment performance, etc were all addressed while designing the D machine. I'm looking forward to getting our first one and driving it. I'll post a report once that happens.
If you are running a C and want to move to the next level, the D should make that a good decision for you. If you are content with the C, keep it and use it. It's a good machine itself and should provide you with years of use.

I ordered mine and got 42 months 0.0% interest finance, High Flow, 7 pin attach control, Deluxe Road Package, cab A/C & heat, bigger 29" tires not 27", block heater, 90" mower, and bale spears that mount on my pallet fork back plate, no trade in price is $40,000 with all charges included, no tax. Dealer guessed 2-3 weeks out, he said he made sure he didn't get any of first ones made.

thx for the opinions here

40g for a new d with a mower seems like an overly good deal. i paid that for my c with a bucket and that was with a 8% discount. The mower is over 3g.
How did your dealer allow that much discount???

Make that more like 5G for the mower!

What interests me is this 3PT hitch option that some have mentioned. Any more information on that? I actually need the hitch more than the PTO, but it probably comes as a package deal.

It is actually 39500, but there is a 1.5% charge for the financing. The mower I think is 3900 forks are 450, tires 200. I think it 20-25% off list.

My dealer quote (before any thrashing) is $49,234.00 without the block heater and bale spears.

That almost seems over list?

I saw and drove the D series prototype of the 3 point machine. It is still on the drawing board. As I saw it, there are still significant issues they need to address. The current design had too little 3 point lift ability. 3 point had full time up or down pressure on lift. They must be able to delete/bypass down pressure which is bad for most 3 point equipment. (most attachments need to float over the terrain rather than be at a fixed 3 point postion.) Didn't have postion control on the 3 point, therefore difficult to lower equipment to same setting after it is raised. Protype had no utility box and radiator was mounted where utility box is. For me it must have even a small utility box. (Small box with deleted dump capability is fine with me.) Needs to have option for rear hydraulic outlets. Current PTO design needs more hp. Hopefully, I will get to field test it this summer. If Bobcat can address these issues, I will buy one. Until then, it is JD 3720 with cab.

This dealer should be rewarded. Maybe we should all buy one from them.
