5045E pricing and reviews ?

[Rmart30]

Got a deere dealer advertising $160 a month payments on a new 5045E ... figures up to about 10k with the 60 months. ive shot them a message to find out what the details of it are. For those who have bought a 2wd without FEL what was the going price and how is the machine? I am betting the advertised payment price is after a good down payment.

Sounds like a "leader" to get traffic in the store. Once there they likely try to upsell you to a better equipped machine.

What do you want/need to do with such a tractor?
Make a list of the top ten tasks you will routinely perform, then determine if this tractor can do those tasks...

Advertised monthly payment was after 20% down is what the dealer replied.

Rara Avis, this would be a spare tractor for a hunting club. Just need something to bush hog and disk with. Nothing fancy and would probably get 100 hours a yr put on it.

You'd take a serious depreciation hit every year for just a 100 hours usage...I think you'd do better looking at older Utility tractors...zero electronics on the old ones...
