Price Check Pricing on GC2310TLB

jim_wilson · Jun 18, 2004

Been looking at the Massey GC2310TLB and the Kubota BX23. I have visited a couple of Massey dealers and gotten pretty much the same price - around $16,400. This is in New England - NH to be exact. Anybody have a sense of what good pricing is on these? Are there any options that I should be looking at? For instance is there a block heater, high amp alternator, etc.? One of the dealers I talked to said there was a hoe bucket available for these that took the bolt on teeth vs the welded on teeth that it comes with - should I be worrying about that? I was thinking that the bolt on teeth would be better if I broke on because I could just bolt another one on vs having to get out the welder. A friend pointed out that the bolt on might may loosen up however. Any info appreciated.

the massey is tweeked up a little higher than the bota, I believe. The massey has more breakout force.
I payed 16 something for Bx-22. love it.

Hi Jim, and everyone else!

I'm a new guy, first post...

I've been lurking and learning for a couple of weeks, but since I just closed the deal on a new GC2310TLB yesterday, I thought I would come into the sunshine and sign up.

I wanted to let you know my tractor cost $16K in southern Maryland, so I think you price is pretty close. My dealer said if I wanted to get the zero percent financing he would have to ask for $300 more because he is required to help buy the financing down, I have no reason to doubt him, and have read other postings saying similar things on financing.

Hope this helps, now if he will just hurry up and deliver the tractor!!

Watched one go unpurchased on ebay for $14,900 from a Dealer in Indiana. Here's the link. I'd use it to try to get your dealer to come down a little.

I saw that auction too - unfortunately (for the Massey anyway) I ended up buying a BX23 which I just got a couple of weeks ago. All the dealers I talked to when I does doing my comparison shopping wanted a few hundred dollars more than I ended up paying for the BX23. This alone wasn't what steered me towards the BX but the popularity of the BX seemed to help with finding better prices - thanks for all the help everybody.
