How are actual sale prices vs MSRP currently for Kubotas (or other manufactures)?

[dbchaplin03]

We bought a brand new Kubota L6060 with a heavy duty box blade, bucket, loader, 3rd function, 3 sets of rear remotes, pallet forks, and a post hole auger all out the door for $45K back in April 2020 which was about 11% under MSRP at the time. Less than a year later we got unexpected orders to move overseas with the military. We are moving back to the states this summer and trying to buy our forever property.

I still have the quotes we received when I bought that L6060 because we were also looking at the M7060, MX6000, and a Kioti Rx7320.

When pricing a new MX6000 on the Kubota website now, they are more than we paid for the L6060 which is unbelievable in 3+ years especially considering that the L6060 was significantly more expensive than the MX6000 and the M7060. I know COVID delays and inflation but are tractor prices really $10K+ more than they were just 3-4 years ago still?

Just wondering what people are seeing for prices if there is a certain % below MSRP that can be expected? When pricing our last the dealers ranged from about 7-11% below msrp and we got quotes from a half dozen dealers in SW Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.

The next Tractor will be depend on the property we end up with but it’s disheartening to see the prices out there on websites. To put it in perspective a new Kioti RX7320 with cab, 3rd function, 3 rear remotes etc. was a little over $40K and now I’m seeing them online at multiple dealers for $49-50K.

I’ve enjoyed my 20 years in the military but once in a while the forced moves are super costly.

My research has lead me to believe that historically, tractor prices increase 3-5% annually, regardless of brand or model.
The 3-5% annual price increases that I’ve identified were before COVID19 and the inflation we’re experiencing today. Today’s prices seem like they’re even higher. But, I haven’t done any comparisons in the last year.

All dealers offer different pricing… you’d really have to speak to the dealers you’d be buying from to get a price. I was quoted four different prices on my tractor, and I didn’t go with the lowest due to proximity and dealer.

 

[RjCorazza]

When I bought my last 2 tractors they were around 10% under Kubota's MSRP. During covid that was not the case, as stock was limited, allowing dealers to get MSRP. I'm sure there were some dealers pricing well above MSRP but I wasn't shopping at that time.
I suspect the 10% under is more the norm now that things have settled down.

All about inflation and the devaluing of the dollar.

Take a look at the steep spike in the money supply in 2020 on top of the increases in the money supply since 2008. That's why prices went crazy.

 

[CloverKnollFarms]

Are tractors really $10k more than three years ago? Yes. Especially some manufacturers.

 

[edgarrian]

Im not really sure b/c i haven't actually went to the dealer and haggled. But the prices I see today are astonishing high. Its unfortunate.

Stop looking at Kubota and start looking at Yanmar, but only if you are smart!

Here it’s about 15% under MSRP and traditionally cheapest in the country

 

[Paystar]

I wouldn't know because I refuse to buy new Kubota's (or any other brand) here in Soviet Canukistan. I like my money too much to blow $90,000 on a Grand L6060 with a loader.

Where are you located if you don’t mind me asking?

 

[edgarrian]

There is a really good kubota dealer in kentucky and I dont believe they have sales tax. Might be worth while checking them out

Do you know the city they are in by chance and I can Google to find the dealership name? I did get quotes from a dealer not too far from Cincinnati before but that was the only one I worked with.

Yes. The yanmar construction stuff is the same. It’s very good but it’s like a secret even yanmar doesn’t to want to share. Give us some dealers. lol.

I did look at the Yanmar YT359 briefly before buying the Kubota L6060 but there weren’t many dealers within even a couple hour drive and the one I did visit closed early that day after driving 1.5 hours to go see it. So I wasn’t able to drive it or operate it.

When I called them to get a quote the Yanmar was more expensive than both Kubotas (L6060 and M7060) and also more than a cabbed Kioti RX7320. That pretty much ended my search for them.

Not sure what the big deal with tax is. I pay no sales tax or use tax on any equipment I buy and never have. In this state, all it takes is an ag exemption certificate.

Far as Yanmar goes, there are no Yanmar dealers within 150 miles of me. Come to think about it, I've never seen one in person, just pictures on here.

After owning a Yanmar, I would drive over 150 miles to buy another one.
