Using the configurator on the JD site

Quick question

Does anyone have a guestamate on what percent of the configurators price you would expect to pay for that tractor at a good dealer.

Thanks again

15% off the price is OK but I think you could probably do a little better than 20% discount off the configurator price'

Yotecat,
I know you are looking at a 4310 like me. I have finally bought one after giving two dealers the boot. I ran the configurator on my deal which was:
4310 eHydro
430 loader
mx5 cutter
5' Box Blade

I couldn't find the box blade or the 430 loader in the configurator, so I used the 300CX loader and left the blade out. The configurator came up with a list price of $26,136. I am paying 20,325. That amounts to a little over 22% off the list price. I think the list I used is probably a few hundred low without the BB, so I am thinking more like 23-24%. I think you can probably do as well on this model, since it has been discontinued and the dealers want to clear out the old stock.

Good luck!
