Price Check The right price for Kubota L4400HST ???

Hi Everyone,

Here's my first post. I am a real rookie. Bought 10 acres, building house and an alpaca ranch in Plant City, Florida. I have a quote from the local Kubota dealer on L4400HST
w/LA703A loader with quick hitch coupler and 72" bucket.
For $20,961.
Then adding
Land Pride Rotary Cutter (bushhog) 72 w/ slip clutch & tail wheel RCR1872-11-32 for $2,101
Land Pride Box Blade 72 w/ 7 shanks BB2572 for $1,202
Land Pride Disc Harrow 6? front & rear notched discs DH1572-01 for $1,800

Totals to $26,064 with 0% for 60mos gives me a payment of $434/month.

What does everyone think of these prices? What's the best way to get other pricing? I'd like to decide by end of this month and take advantage of the financing offer. Thanks in advance.

Best to all,

Well, I paid right around $20K for my 4400 with loader several years ago, so I'd say the price was right.
I don't remember what we paid for the Landpride rotary cutter, but it's been a good one all these years.

Hey Kspiegel,

When I was shopping for my Kubota, FEL, and select attachments I faxed the specs to all the "local" (within a 100 miles) dealers and asked them to fax or email me back their best quote. I was clear about all the specifics (cash vs time purchase, tire size, balast, etc.). You may need to "flex" on some of the attachments. For example, "Land Pride 72 box blade 2572 or equivalent make and model."

I ended up buying at the closest place and glad I did. They call me by name when I walk in -- heck, they even call my wife by name! Great dealer in western Oregon.

Good luck.

Those prices aren't too far off. Last November, I bought a package deal pretty much identical to yours except for an 18' trailer instead of the disc setup. I also had R4 tires installed. Price out the door was $25,295.00 That and Kubota financing made it a good deal.
By the way, I've really enjoyed my setup. I have 10 acres too, so I know the L4400HST is a good fit. Good luck! Mike.

Thanks everyone. Glad to hear the pricing is in the zone and shopping the quote within 100 miles makes a lot of sense. Really appreciate all your help.

Best,
