Price Check 5055e

BrokeinAl · Jul 12, 2017

Ok, haven't been on here in a real long time but thought I may share my findings today. Got a price on a 5055e and have signed a purchase order to buy but not a done deal because didn't have time to complete deal after work today and they are also working up a price for 5065e for me to consider as well. I will find out first thing in the morning and decide which I'm going with. So here's the deal on 5055e.....

2017 5055e (new 2.8 hrs.)
MFWD
Power Reverser
FEL H240(global quick attach )
Grill Guard
Canopy
Frontier hay spear
Rears filled
Delivered to the homestead
$29,500

Like to hear how this compares to other recent prices and if anyone else has an opinion on 5055e vs 5065e. Main reason for wanting the extra hp is for maybe a 10' rotary cutter in future and feel it may offer a little future flexibility.

Well my 5055e will drive a haybine...

or a baler and hay wagon with 150 plus bales with plenty of power still on tap...

I believe you can never buy to much tractor as long as you can afford it.

Thanks for the input, I feel confident the 5055e will serve my purpose well and since the 5065e price I got set up the same way was $35800. I only have 40 acres and just a few head of cows so won't be cutting any hay. I really can't justify the price difference for my current set up.
