I just went through this with a Kubota tractor. Checked on ordering a MX5400. Would be paying in full with cash at signing of the sales agreement. 3 dealers said if there is any price increase between ordering and delivery I could be responsible for the difference even though paid for in full...

I recently got quotes from 2 different dealers to order a MX5400. The quotes were within $150 dollars of each other with basically no discount from the “build your own” site. Neither dealer would budge on price. I tried to get a hard copy of the WSM thrown in and that was a no go. Yesterday I...

I have not ordered the tractor from him yet, but planned to this coming week. I really wanted to buy from him as they would most likely be doing any future service work. However I decided instead of paying in full to potentially lock in, and having nothing to show for the money for possibly...

Looks like that’s what I will do but it comes with a trade off. The dealer with the one on the lot wants $2000 more than ordering one from the closest dealer ….if the price on the ordered tractor is really locked in. The $2000 more is due to the dealer having to do the labor of installing 3...

As I said in another thread, I’m in the process of buying a MX5400 and will be paying cash. One dealer who would have to order the tractor said if I pay in full when we sign the purchase agreement, and the tractor is ordered before January 1st, the price will be locked in. A second dealer who is...

I have two dealers getting me a quote for ordering a MX5400 as neither has one on the lot. Due to this thread I asked both dealers if the purchase price would be locked in. The difference from the situation with the OP is this will be a cash sale. The 1st dealer said if you pay for it at...

Interesting thread, Hope everything works out for the OP and the dealer honors the original price. I am getting quotes for a MX5400 from a couple of dealers this week and and am ready to purchase with cash. I will ask each dealer about honoring the original purchase agreement upon delivery and...

One of your previous posts about your Saya NTD got me thinking about going with the MX6000 instead of the MX5400 in case I ever do get NTD, which has been on my wish list. Which style of grapple to get is another thing I’m trying to figure out. A friend has one that has a very short bottom jaw...

Thanks again for the info. My uses pretty much mirror yours (minus the NT drill….maybe some day!) We have a 60 acre hobby farm also, main use will be collecting fire wood in winter, maintaining food plots, brush hogging fields and trails. I used to disk and plow but went to no till/throw & mow...

Thanks for the reply, I am going to get quotes on a MX5400 next week. The one thing I still haven’t decided on is between R1 and R14’s. We get a decent amount of snow and I do all my wood cutting in the winter so winter traction is important for me. My current tractor is a Ford 860 with nearly...

Keadog Now that you have some more hours on the MX with the R14s I would like to hear your opinion on them compared to the R1s you originally had. Thanks

Every thing you said is spot on. I’m in the same boat as far as getting older and slowing down and having a new tractor would sure make things easier to get done. It probably doesn’t make sense to spend the kind of money these things are going for when I have been getting by with my Ford 860...

Ouch!

Thanks for all the replies. I found a dealership about 90 miles away that has a MX5400 on the lot. I haven’t contacted them yet for pricing. It has R14’s instead of the R1’s I was going to get and would need to have the 2 rear remotes and third function added along with a couple of other...

As I stated in an earlier post I have issues with no feeling in the thumb, index and middle fingers on my right hand. A buddy of mine has a third function on his New Holland and the control knob on the joystick could be rotated so the buttons face forward and I could use my ring and pinky...

Thanks for the reply. I am 6’3” and 190#. Good point about the warranty. I have gotten by with a Ford 860 for years but as I get older a loader/ grapple sure would be nice instead of using back muscles!

No L60 serious on the couple of nearest dealers lots. There was a cab version about 100 miles away but I hate to drive that far with the wife and I’m looking at an open station.

L4701 and MX5400 were also on the short list and are still options. I don’t want to sacrifice being able to get around in the woods by getting to large of a frame tractor.

Thanks third function and two rear remotes are on the list when I buy along with tire ballast or wheel weights. One other issue I may have is third function buttons/ toggle. Due to an injury I have no feeling in my right thumb, index and middle fingers so I would have to run the third function...

New member, long time reader. I am finally in the position to pay cash for a new tractor. I have 60 acres, 10 acres of fields and 50 wooded. The tractor will be used for brush hogging, trail maintenance, collecting firewood and woodland management. Looking at all the tractor specs I am leaning...
