Price Check Kioti CS2410 and Massey 1705 pricing

[ajd187]

As part of my tractor search I got some quotes on a Kioti CS2410 (25hp, 19.4 PTO hp) and a Massey 1705 (22.5hp, 18.7 PTO hp) this afternoon.

The price quote I got breaks down as follows. Note that the price is the same for both tractors; I drove both around the dealer field, and could not tell any difference at all between them. All are using the 0% financing (72 months for Kioti, 60 for MF).

Tractor with loader - $14300
60" belly Mower - $2000
+ 8% tax

Total OTD: $17604

Based on my online pricing using the JD and Kubota online configurators, I'm guessing I'd see similar pricing on a BX2360 or 1023E with the equivalent configuration (within a few hundred bucks anyway). Are these prices right on, or a bit high? The dealer said that that was his bottom line price, although I suspect with some competitive offers he might go a bit lower.

One thing I did notice is that the Kioti is really a class ahead of the others for the same money, just not sure I want to go with that yet.

They shrink when you bring them home.

Similar to the Kioti, is the LS J2020H...similar specs, but it's loader will lift nearly twice as much, and averages around $1500 less, which would almost pay for the mower. If there's a dealer around, it can't hurt to be armed with more, and lower, quotes.....regardless what color you choose.
