i got a number yesterday for a package deal from the dealer. L3130HST filled R4 LA723 FEL w/ HD bucket, BB, RB and used cutter spoke with the owner today to see if he could sharpen his pencil..... he said only if you are ready to finalize the sale. i said i will stop in tomorrow (saturday)...

after leaning toward green the last few days, today i am leaning toward orange... 2 reasons: 1)orange dealer has been quick to get me a final package price, still waiting on a final number from JD.... and more importantly 2)the first tractor i can remember was a bright orange allis...

i will probably go with the R4s, good all around tire, i guess cant go wrong. will see what the dealer shoots back with. thanks

congrads on the new tractor. hopefully i will have mine next week. i asked the owner to sharpen his pencil, gonna drop in the dealership tomorrow to see how much he took off...

check corriher tractor in NC, they advertise on the web, not sure what the website is, also try tarheel tractor those are good places to get an idea of price, generally further south you go seems price is cheaper you can check...

try this link: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/equipment/contracts/tr_cpt_utl/index.html good luck

you guys get such a better deal down there. i guess i should pack my bags... prices for these CUTs r just higher here. i guess it is the freight?? less competition?? good luck with the machines

Re: Woods XT160 60\" rotary cutter i called woods customer service to find out more. very helpful. said xt series was replaced by the brushbull series. so basically same cutter. stopped making in 2001. parts easy to get.

JD4310 ehydro w/430FEL and HD bucket Kubota L3130 HST w/LA723 and HD bucket i can buy both for about the same price. seems i am getting a better discount on the JD, maybe due to new model coming out. financing rates are same as well. both dealers seem to have good service, products, etc which...

i am back again to ask another question. sorry. i can save about $500 if i go with the R1 instead of the R4 tires. looking at list seems a diff of about $866, sounds like he is not giving me as strong of a discount. anybody care to comment on advantages/disadvantages?? how do the tires...

the quote from the TX dealer was just for the similar spec tractor and FEL, not the whole package w/ attachments, sorry to confuse... i tried another dealer near me and he said he prefers to have me buy local as they have their territories...his quote was even higher

hey all, i am trying to get a tractor purchased by months end, looking for some input on price: L3130 HST R4 filled LA723 FEL w/ 72" HD bucket w/cutting edge (slightly used from L48) $20,800 Woods GB72 6' Box blade $800 Woods RB84 7' Rear blade $500 Woods XT160 5' cutter w/ slip clutch (used...

great photo...i see you have the R1 ag tires, how does it change the profile of the tractor?? i am pricing up the R4 industrial tires, but they cost a bit more. to save some money i could get the ags. any advantage/disadvantage??

4000....just kidding around 1500 maybe because the tires arent loaded?? the dealer is going to look at it. i jumped up on a new 4120 powrreverser to see if it had same problem. it was a lot smoother, not super smooth but better. one thing i did notice and did not like was that the fenders...

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I have an HBL 84 on mine and it works well )</font> any advantage in paying up for the HBL?? how much should one cost?? </font><font color="blue" class="small">( I also have the bb 60 "hog" . It works very well on my 3130 )</font> ever hear of...

bird, thanks for the advice, what you say makes sense </font><font color="blue" class="small">( Are you going to have a front end loader? )</font> yes, i am looking at the LA723 FEL w/ 72" bucket, so the 72" BB and 84" RB would fit fine. do you think the tractor has enuf HP to pull the 6'...

basically if i was completely stopped and shifted forward it would lurch pretty strong. i ended up using the clutch to smooth it out.

Box blade? dealer wants to sell me 6' Woods GB72. too big? would the 5.5' GB 65 work better? Rear Blade? looking at 7' sounds about right? dealer asking: Woods GB72 box blade $800 Woods RB84 rear blade $ 500 and Woods BB60 cutter $1200...ouch prices seem high considering I am trying to...

Woods XT160 60\" rotary cutter my local dealer has one of these used. it seems to be in very good condition, no dents or paint chips or scrapes. dealer wants $800. sounds like a good deal. i could buy a Woods BrushBull BB60 from him new for $1200, ouch. i have not been able to find any info...

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( When they are brand new the shifting is harsh. After about 30 hours it smoothes out greatly. )</font> harsh is an understatement.... glad it smoothes out. are you speaking about the powrreverser on the 4600 you have?? do you think it will smooth out...

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I can't remember if the 'MotionMatch' is only for the eHydro or covers both trannys. )</font> motion match is standard with the epowrreverser. i tried it in both settings, no difference

i am looking at purchasing a 4310 epowrreverser instead of hydro. there is one thing that concerns me about the reverser, it seems to lurch forward when you flip the lever, not smooth at all. it acts like a car when you dump the clutch and it lurches forward and you get a bit of whiplash. the...

i have been on both a few times times, each has things i like and do not like. i also like both dealers, and believe each could support me quite well, the case dealer is offering free p/u and drop off for warranty and service, and his implement prices are a little less. i am trying to get the...

seems in this part of the country 15% discount is probably the most i can get. he should be closer to $20k if not below that...

hello all i just wanted to find out if the JD 4310 and DX33 are basically the same tractor spec wise?? if they both cost the same which one would be better deal?? seems JD is heavier (2900 vs 2474), less clearance (10.5 vs 14) and slightly larger with slightly less hp and what is the...

i agree with going with the larger frame, but my case dealer has both the dx33 and dx40. he seems to think the smaller would suit me better....hopefully get this wrapped up this week

the problem now is getting him down some. he wants $21,000 for L3130, hydro, LA723 FEL quick attach with the L48 bucket, loaded R4's, and block heater, seems a bit high...

stopped by the dealer today to locate that bucket...it was indeed a used bucket for a L48. it is quick attch, had a bolt on cutting edge, and looked pretty HD.

thanks guys for the input... if you want to hear a funny story... the way this all started was i called a local tractor dealer at the end of may to rent a tractor to do some work around the property. while having him on the phone (stupidly) i asked if he had anything used, yes we do come on...

feel like a real horses **** ... just found out that the L48 tractor is a TLB. never looked in that section on the kubota website.... also just noticed the post just before mine says L48 in the subject line...

Hello all I am looking at purchasing a L3130 w/LA723 FEL and HD bucket. My local dealer has a L3130 w/LA513 FEL on his lot. I asked him to price the tractor on the lot but with the LA723. Swapping off should be an easy deal i would think. (of course he wants to sell me the LA513 which is...

hello all well it's come down to the wire. after a few months of going back and forth (need vs want, new vs used) and what size (class2, class3 etc) i have come down to these 3 tractors, at least i think i have.... I live in Montana and have 16 acres of pasture (some flat, some contoured), no...

hello all thanks for your opinions, very helpful... i have been thinking that maybe best to go new, esp with financing and warranty. considering the TC33DA/DX33, JD4310, Kubota L3130. (all current local inventory). any opinions?? they all seem like great machines. hard to compare apples to...

any opinions on comparison to current (familiar) 420/430 FELs ?? my dealer priced me up a 4310 w/300x, when i was looking for the 430.

thanks all for your posts... my dealer has come back with a $19,000 quote for: 4310 4wd epowrreverser r4 dual mid scv block heater tubes and chloride 300x FEL 61" HD bucket bucket level indicator the price seems pretty good, considering my location. i have 2 questions: 330x loader vs. 430...

thanks all, i will probably look to buy new. hopefully i will be able to get the 4310 for a little less. problem is up here in montana prices are a bit high. if he wont budge any ideas of other concessions to ask for? what would be a fair price for the 4310, e power-reverser, 430 loader, hd...

hello i could use some help on a price check for a 2000 JD 4600 4WD, epower-reverser, 460 FEL, frame-attached front blade, with 295 hrs. $18,500. i am located in MT. it is not with a local JD dealer, but the local Kubota dealer. seems like a good price, esp with the front blade. i do not...

jerryg have you ever heard of any problems with the 1165?

thanks all for the advice. i have been speaking to the dealer about the 2 rental tractors. he put together a package price of $17700 for the MF 1165 w/MF 232 FEL, powershuttle, 6' cutter, 7' landscape rake, and 7' rear blade. sounds pretty good. any thoughts?? they r a MF/Agco dealer and he...

i am having a hard time finding any specs on the MF 1165. i am considering purchasing a used rental return, approx 500hrs, powershuttle, MF232 FEL, used by couple of renters, asking $16900. is it Iseki?? one site said Isuzu is it a discontinued model? if so what would be the new model...

My local MF/Agco dealer has 2 used tractors, both ex-rental/lease. First one is a 2001 MF 1165 w/FEL, 37 pto hp, powershuttle, w/ approx 500hrs. dealer asking $16,900. The other is a 2000 Agco ST45 w/FEL, hydro, 36 pto hp, w/ approx 350 hrs. dealer asking $19,900. Also I think he said...

rider, soundguy thanks for the reply. the 2 used tractors are maybe?? a bit more than i need, 45 gross-37 pto hp, bigger frame, etc, and would easily cost over 20k new. i guess the question is it better to get a larger used or smaller new?? and which would have better resale. for example i...

tomtom thanks for the reply. good point about the financing and warranty. i will look at closely and consider all options. regarding the FEL, i will definitely get one. i did not include as an attachment because they seem to always include them as 'standard' now.

Not sure if I should post here or in the Massey forum?? I am considering purchasing a tractor and need some advice. I live in Montana and have 16 acres of pasture (some flat, some contoured), no livestock yet, a quarter mile gravel driveway that needs help. Also the property around the house is...
