1st tractor

[rkidd]

Dealer just quoted me an MX5200 they have in stock. $32,300 finance or $31,300 cash. They just sold the last MX4800.

He is working on the L4760 quote.

Any opinions on that price?

My machine keeps growing... based on the feedback, I am good with that!

Hey mickp7. I am not far from you here in Jefferson. I have become very good friends with the owner of the dealership over here after buying my B2650 from him. He has been a great guy and taken care of every little thing no problem. If you would like I could put you in touch with him to get another quote. If so send me a pm.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Missouri- I did play with the online builder. Def a good tool.

Dalroo- no implements in that price, but it is an HST. Looks like they are about 5%- 10% right now... hopefully they can do a bit better and help me make the move.

Lawson- good suggestion. I did some looking for used at tractor.com, etc, but will do some more.

I've got the irons in the fire and will let you know what shakes out!

So, thanks to all of your feedback, here is where I've landed:


The only difference from that quote is I think I am going to do with the EA 66" Wicked Root Grapple instead of the CID. I like the set-up and lower weight of the EA.

RKidd- this is via your connection. Thanks again for the referral.

Thanks again. I'm looking forward to playing with the new toy!

Congrats on your new machine and setup . You have speced it out very well with all of the right attachments to do all of the work you have described. Glad it work out for you over here. There is always alot of little mods you can do to a new tractor to enhance it. I have done alot of them on mine since I bought it. When you get over this way, give me a call and I would be glad to show them to you to give you some ideas. Congrats again on a very nice tractor and set up!!

Is that the bolt on bucket instead of the skid steer quick release style? If so, I would recommend the quick release setup in consideration of the pallet forks you are getting. Maybe I am reading the list wrong.

Pretty sure it is saying bolt on cutting edge for heavy duty bucket.

ok, that probably makes sense.

Was curious, so I looked it up, they only have SSQA option buckets for that model (no pin on buckets), and yes it's a bolt on cutting edge bucket.

 

[mickp7]

That is correct... thanks for looking out for me though! Being totally new to tractors, this is the kind of detail I could easily miss.

As a follow up, the original dealer wants to make the same deal now and offer "some heavier duty equipment". Realizing that these are somewhat of a commodity, I don't fault them for the follow offer but will stick with the gentleman that RKidd hooked me up with. I prefer the straight up pricing he offered- it's hard to put a price on trust.

I know you've all seen it before but I'll follow up with a few picks of the set-up once I get it. Looks like that's what folks do on the forum, so I'll follow suit!

Congratulations. I bought same tractor w/ FEL about 3 weeks ago. Traded a MX5000 2wd. Love that thing. Putting a Piranah tooth bar was like getting a new FEL. Great machine!

 

[mickp7]

While I accept most of the blame, you guys are partially responsible for this. I mean that in the nicest possible way. Pics of the new toy... grapple is due in the next few days. Thanks again for the feedback!

Congrats! The stock in oil will increase with all the diesel you will be buying! You will find all kind of things to do with the Kubota. Good stress reliever too!
