Went Shopping

[2thdoc]

Just got back from the local NH dealer. Received the following price quotes:

TC33D, SS, R4 tires, $15,480
7308 Loader, $2,990
72" NH Belly Mower, $2,292
2 Rear Remote Valves, $213

Grand total of $20,975 before tax
Said this included $800 off from NH. Financing available, 3.9%/36mo 4.9/48 or 5.9%/60 mo.

Seem reasonable? Anything I missed, ie., a tooth bar for the loader, heavy duty bucket, shop manual? etc.

2thdoc, that price on the TC33D with SS is spectacular. The MSRP on that tractor is almost $20k. Great shopping!/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif Your loader price is about right with the HD bucket. You could get a toothbar or a cutter bar now, but you wouldn't save that much over buying them later. If you want to roll everything into the financing deal, I'd say go ahead and get the extras now. By the way, good choice on the remote valves. You may never use them, but if you decide to add top-n-tilt to your 3PH, you will really be pleased you got those now. I think your dealer gave you a big discount at $213 if that was for both (Is that the "each" price?).

I'm not sure about the belly mower price. Someone else will have to advise you on that. It seems to me that a rear mount would be easier to connect-disconnect, but maybe you need the shorter dimension. Do you plan on removing the 7308 FEL while mowing?

Overall, I think you have negotiated one heck of a good deal./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

you should buy this tractor before the dealer realizes he made a mistake 15480.00 on a tc33d with ss is below our cost even with the 800.00 New Holland has on settlement allowance right now. Make him right it up and sign imediately all the prices you have listed are either at cost or below cost I am a dealer and thats a great price

Hi 2thdoc:

I recently purchased a TC25D from Theros in northern Virginia. A little smaller than yours, but I bought the same implements as you. Here's the breakdown:

TC25D w/ SS: $13,840
7308 FEL: $2240
914A 60" MMM: $2148
Total: $18,228

Also Included in Price:

HD 60" Bucket
2 Hooks, Welded and Painted
Block Heater
One Hydraulic Rear Remote
Toothbar
Parts Book (in addition to operator's manual)
Turfs, with anti-freeze filled rear tires

I also paid $595 for delivery to northern Illinois.

The offer Theros made me for the 33D was $1400 more, for a total of $19628, which is roughly $1300 less than your quote, and it included the nice package of extras that I did wind up with. (maybe another $500 worth?) Either way, the financing offered at the time was 0% for 12 months, which I declined.

I agree that you got a spectacular price! You may want to shop a little more though ...

Jinman, It's my understanding the $213 is for both valves. I've got a 6ft rear mount mower now but I thought if I was going to get a tractor I might as well go ahead and get a MMM too. I've got several trees to mow around and some of the smaller ones have already been "trimmed" by the rear mount mower. I don't know about the loader; I can probably do most of my mowing with it on without causing problems.

Honest-to-god...when I read your post about prices I could hardly believe it. It just keeps getting more unbelievable. I nominate you for "dealmaker of the month". Wow! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif
