Real World Pricing?

[GirlWhoWantsTractor]

I don稚 think you値l find very many people that would buy a mahindra over X brand if the dealer and price was the same.

Those are some pretty big "if's"

I don't love green, not at all. I'm leaning towards blue until I go look at one, then, who knows. I have not been thrilled with the orange or two reds I've seen so far. I may not like blue when I see it.

I do like green .... my green, and I want to keep as much of it as possible while getting the best value. If big Green comes in with a price anywhere near the others, I may be forced to rethink. I don't like the company or how they do business, but if they can get me a decent price at 0%, I may not be able to refuse.

I hear you brother. Price was a big thing for me too. I could have afforded any color, but I kept a few thousand $$$ in my pocket and actually got a beefier tractor. Buy what suits YOU.

It would help to update your profile as to location and maybe property size so that others can help with future questions.

Anyway, prices can vary by region. Some areas have more dealers in closer proximity, so better prices due to competition. Out here there are only 4 different brand dealers within a 40 mile radius. The next are at 200-300 miles away, then the next closest are at 400-500 miles out. These 4 'close' dealers have 'in person, out the door pricing' that is higher than the web prices. They have a captive buyer and know it. Their attitude is "if you don't like the price, you don't have to buy it'.

The JD dealer was the highest, followed by Mahindra, Kubota and NH were about the same. Still much higher than elsewhere.
The closest Kioti dealer was at about 350 miles away and was $3500 cheaper than the 4 local dealers for a comparable model.
When I was looking at different brands, both the K and JD dealers were way high priced. The 1025R TLB would have cost me $23,900 here. Kubota BX was $22,800. These prices were without the MMM.

I ended up driving 550 miles up to Ft Collins CO to buy my LS mt125 TLB. My price up for the tractor was $15,900 out the door. Well worth the cost / time for me to go that far. There are now dealers that will ship cross country, and have heard from people that have bought this way that they had no problems and would do it again.

Many, many variables. Good luck in your search. Internet research can show you different prices in different areas. You may have to search deep and long in order to get actual prices. A site called Tractorhouse ussually has quite a few prices listed for the different brands / models. Again good luck searching. I'm sure others will be along with their opinions.

There is a Kubota dealer in this area that has BXs for a little over $18K if you buy an implement at the same time. Regular Kubota financing; $0-$0- 72 month.

That doesn't make it a lesser brand to anyone but you. I hated the new JDs I test-drove, but that doesn't make it a lesser brand for anyone except me. For someone who loves green paint, anything else is a lesser brand--for them. Same with orange paint: suits you, didn't suit me. I really wish we could give these brand wars a rest, and respect other folks' preferences and choices. And be glad we HAVE choices.

Agree w/ Tractor Girl

I may be a bit late, But I too shopped all brands you mentioned here in the Phoenix area. I was looking though for a TLB. Deere came in the least at 19,500 plus tax. Kubota, Kioti, Mahindara were all almost 1500 plus more. The MMM option was is around 2k I believe on deere (I did not get one).

Here though in PHX, the dealer advertises the 1023E with loader and gannon for 14K plus tax. The 1025R is 16000 with loader and gannon and with adding around 2 k to each with the MMM.

agreed the color thing is a moot point for me especially if I have good dealer support and the prices are similar - however that is also depending on other factors such as resale and time of use and such if you do not plan to keep it for a while -

for me and my situation there were NO tractors offered by K, K, M, A, T, B, FNH, CNH, LS that offered a MMM in the smaller weight/frame size with the higher HP so I compared as close as I could w/out a MMM and even some of the lesser tractors were priced higher than the Deere even including the Deere with the MMM.

I was totally amazed at what I experienced visiting all of the various dealers or calling and talking to them. There were things I liked from other brands over the Deere I ended up with however - price/resale/dealer support all made it a no brainer for me.

I was hoping to buy RED as that is what I mainly grew up around and used and loved them and still have. I ran several Ford NH as well and they were all great tractors too so Deere was not my first choice but green is sitting in my barn ;-)

From what I saw with ALL of the brands none were standouts to run from like forest gump.
