Now there is something else I must consider. The NH dealer came back with a price of $24,600 for a new TC55DA with EHSS and a QA loader. That makes the decision a little bit harder.
That price seems too low to me. It must be a cash deal and not financing and im still doubting a dealer going that low. i think thats losing money. Maybe it was a 2wd.
As a matter of fact i will buy 4 of them you can tell the dealer. I can resell them and make money. You would be hard pressed to get a new TC55DA EHSS 4WD with QA loader for less then $26000.
We are going with the new tractor. It has the SSS tranny, 270 loader with QA, R4 tires. We are adding arm rests and a canopy. The grand total will be $25,100 without delivery. Pretty good price from what I have seen.
I will probably pick it up on Wednesday.
Thanks for your advice. I'll try to post some pics when I get her home.
Just to clarify, the SSS is not the same as the EHSS, and will not have the power shuttle feature. That's costs about $1k, until you use one, then it might be worth a whole lot more.
