Price Check Price range for T273?

[SHIFTY]

I will be going to look at a T273 HST in the next few days. Can anyone give me an example quote or puchase price in the New England area to set my expectations? I would be wanting it with a FEL, possibly a mid mount mower. Just starting to look, and intend to select something this month. Will probably choose between Kubota 7610, Mahindra 2415 and the TYM.

I sent you a private message

For those who might be looking at TYM. This morning I woke up with the darn T233 in my head. I got a quote from the second nearest dealer in the next state about 75 miles away. They had no issue with the distance or providing free delivery. No sales tax if delivered here. Price was $650 less for the T233 HST with FEL and $1800 additional if preconfigured with a mid mount mower. New from the crate machine. Quite a bit better. I don't have a problem with the local dealer being more expensive somone has to be. They might have lower volume or higher operating costs. I should call them back and ask them to check the price book again to see if there is a better deal they can find with a preconfigured mid mount mower that would account for the $2000 price difference. TYM is a minor part of their business and they might not be completely familiar with all variation of pricing for the different models.

I agree that the pricing for the T273 is a bit stiff for an off brand newcomer like TYM with no proven track record. I also got a price from your local dealer. He quoted me $16900. The rest of the dealers here in New England are quoting $15900 with a discount of $750 for cash no financing. This still seems high to me as the Kubota dealer in Milford NH quoted me a B2630 for $15900. There's no comparison between the 2 machines. A B7610 was quoted to me at $13400, more like the pricing I would have expected for the TYM T233/273 which seem to be identical sans the engine. The attraction of the TYM is the smaller size with a larger lift capacity and more height. If anyone can suggest another machine with similar size and capabilities I'd be greatful.

Ouch!

That's big bucks for that little tractor. I too like the weight and lift for it's size, but too much$$$

I don't know. I have no knowledge not having been within yards of a tractor until a week or so ago and still haven't sat on one. But I fancied (and still do) a Kubota 7610 and was quoted $14.5K with FEL compared to $15K for the T233. Just from having a brief look at the two the Kubota looked longer in the tooth, I read its quarter inching valve and mower removal are not the easiest to deal with. The TYM looks like a solid machine with a fine looking operator console, somewhat better PTO HP. The TYM was in a showroom which might have exagerated its size but it looked no less substantial. I was also quoted $15K for a Mahindra 2415 w/ FEL so I don't see where the TYM price is all that out of whack. Other than it is somewhat pretty, and doesnt' have a chimney like a proper tractor should it looks promising to me. I thought buying a car was tough but the tractor world with its semi-secret pricing and quotes all over the map from the same dealer to different people is a piece of work.

Kubota vs. TYM etc is like Toyota vs. Kia, but where is the price advantage of the newer kid on block?

Yes car buying is much easier.

The Kioti CK20 Gear @ $12K is strating to look real good as a replacement for my B7200 Kubota.

Just another pricing reference point for those interested... I paid $19k for my 273 TLB about 4 months ago. Really didn't negotiate, just took the first price the dealer offered because I thought it was fair and he spend a lot time showing me a number of different pieces of equipment, answering tons of questions etc.

I'm very satisfied with after sales support as well, if anyone wants more details feel free to PM me for name of the dealer, etc.

I thought the larger series of TYM's had Kubota engines?

Kubota motors are used in the 33-45 hp tractors,60 hp is Cat and the 70 hp is Deere,23 and 27 hp K2's are Mitsubishi.
