B2601 pricing

[MossyDell]

Hi All,

Have just started kicking a few tires. I contacted three VA Kubota dealerships and one got back to me with a quote.

I wonder if a B2601 for $15,000 and a LA435 loader for $4,225 and a 54" midmount mower for $2,400 is a decent price?

If I do cash, Kubota and cash incentives total $1,800.

These prices seem a bit high to me but I haven't bought a tractor in 15 years.

what is the build price on the kubota site?

Good point: Suggested List Price $16,025 on the tractor.

So he is under that. However, I wonder how much leeway there is and if he is giving me all the Kubota discounts available. My early perception is that online Kubota prices are really inflated. I guess the question is whether the discount he has on it is reasonable or do other dealers go farther under the list?

When could you expect delivery?
When do you NEED delivery?
Recent posters here have been complaining

I don't know about the larger units. But kioti dealers around here are slammed handling smaller machines. My dealer usually has a nice stock and currently doesn't have a single open station tractor in stock. And no idea when more will be here. As is I am taking delivery of a CX2510 with turf tires with a promise to take it back and swap on industrials when they show up. My buddy has had a backhoe on order for weeks. I only got my tractor because someone backed out or couldn't get financing.

Kubota dealers I talked to were in a similar place.

Things are a little wierd out there right now.

Suggest you price the tractor you need with the options you need, then go from there. What tires are on the tractor they priced, what options? etc.. Online pricing is MSRP. You also mentioned $1800 Kubota incentives , where exactly is that listed? I see $700 for 2 implements, $400 if you finance, and 1-2 association incentives.

Good questions, Newberry and Johnkn. I really need delivery by late September or early October. We have not gotten down to brass tacks on that, but it sounds like a 6-8 week wait. Which could work.

I specified R14s, and the tractor price listed includes those, and filled. Kubota's listed incentives I see are $1,000 for cash and $700 for implements. So he is $100 above that.

The more I get granular here, the more this seems a good price except for loader, see below. And except it is like ordering from a catalog, though not Amazon. You'll get your tractor in due time but I do not know how specific the estimate will be.

Also, the MSR on the LA435 loader is $3,031 plus $459 for 54" quick attach bucket (he quoted $4,225 including 54" quick attack bucket) and a 54" midmount mower for $2,162 (list is $2,400).

So I guess where he seems a bit high is on the loader and bucket, $3,490 MSR vs. $735 more from the dealer.

Could he be making up for the R14s and them filled? Is that how dealers do it? Except I reckon they are still making money on the tractor, etc.

Can you send a link to the $1000 for using cash?

I suggest building and pricing the exact tractor on the Kubota site, then having the dealer price that exact config. Dealer may have included the Swift-Tack coupler system and other nice features that you didn't price.

I don't know I'd come out ahead having him match the build your own. He is $1,000 under already on the tractor. But I guess I need to compare all prices. But the MSRPs are inflated and it's hard to find the bottom because I am sure the 0% financing is being covered. Here is the link:

Not sure that will work so here is the info pasted in.

B2601HSD-1 - 4WD TRACTOR W/FOLDABLE ROPS

Available Manufacturer Rebates:
Cash Customer Instant Rebate Up To($1,000.00)
Finance Customer Instant Rebate Up To($600.00)

The MSRP is not inflated, the MSRP is the manufacturer suggested retail price (prior to any discount). My suggestion again is to build the exact tractor you want on the Kubota pricing tool showing every single option, no more, no less and give that to the dealer so he can provide you your discounted price on that exact configuration. That way it's an exact apples to apples comparison.

Good luck...

Hi All,

As others have stated, go to the Kubota website and configure the tractor you want to get the MSRP. Then, check out the Kubota Financing link and look at the incentives under the Equine Membership Program. Join one of the associations and get 20% off the tractor痴 MSRP. Call the dealer of your choice and tell them you would like to take advantage of the program incentive. It痴 that easy.
