Thanks for any comments. I just need to wait for the rear remote, fluid/rears and delivery.

Delivered with full tank of gas

Hopefully its full of diesel

 

[old and tired]

What?!? No photos??? Does it really matter about the deal, the fact is you now have a tractor!!!!

 

[jimh406]

Sounds good. Congrats!

A few little things I’d consider adding. Right side handle and telescoping 3 point hitch. If they will weld hooks to the bucket, have them do that before delivery.

Congratulations! Tell them to make dang sure the front axle has oil in it. And, check it when you get it anyway. Been there done that.

 

[forky]

LOL....I have a bad habit of calling diesel gas...they sell it at gas stations!

Talked to the dealer about the telescoping part and he said with the QH it is not necessary. Great idea about the bucket hooks dealer installed.

I think your deal sounds pretty good! Congrats!
Can I ask what the break down in cost was for the one rear remote?

 

[forky]

Thanks for all the congrats......Everything was listed by item without their individual price and then a total package price was given Ken, however he did mention $900 extra for the rear remote while we were putting things together.

Sounds like a fair price to me, congratulations. No 3rd function in the front so I guess not anticipating a grapple. In addition to the right side handle you might pick up the extra air filter to add over the single filter that comes on L2502's, actually a prefilter I guess. It comes standard on L3901.

Sounds great, enjoy your new tractor

$1258.13 tax.

That just blows me away. No wonder so many people come to NH to buy stuff.

 

[forky]

I hear you dog. It's not a tax friendly state for sure!
I called the dealer back and said I needed to add
a tiller to the deal.....that will run $2,250.00 and another $124 in tax.
Good thing the land pride has a good warranty.
Dang...too far to ship from NH.

Sounds like pretty good deal to me. A couple things about those R1 Ag tires is that the rears have adjustable width and you can 2 or 3 sets of wheels weights on them. Have fun and be safe.

The tax thing sucks. I know a kubota dealer and when they started allowing full sales tax on tractors it hurt them. I believe cars and trucks have a 3% sales tax but not tractors full on whatever your county rate is. Luckily our son has a farm tax number.

 

[forky]

Thanks Grateful.....I'm too so thankful for everything.....
Our tax rate is 5.5% and the Gov wants more.... sad for sure...
Hopefully the equipment can keep flowing to the dealers.....when it comes to the tractor, it's all about the implements, eh!

I would gladly pay our state's 6.25% tax if only the unit, same as yours plus backhoe I ordered early in August 2021 would arrive. The price is locked in but is of little use if I am unable to put the tractor to work. Seven months of waiting-the only response I have gotten is that none are available. If I knew then what I know now I would have purchased one, along with a trailer elsewhere in the country, and driven it home. Apparently, larger dealers have pre-ordered models they knew were always in demand so they are able to provide units while the smaller dealers end up ordering as they get orders, so end up being way down the list.

The telescoping lift arms are better than a quick hitch.

The telescoping lift arms are better than a quick hitch.

Not IMO, having had both. With the QH I can back up and hook up to the ballast box, rear blade, etc., in seconds and get to work w/o even getting off the tractor.

I prefer the strength of the direct lift arm connection and the implements and top link being closer to the machine. I don’t struggle connecting even my 1000# blade with the telescoping arms.

 

[Rdrcr]

I prefer the QH too. I struggled with too many rear implements to be without it.
