Bx23s Price Check

[Tractor_Jack]

Hey All,

Looking at getting my first tractor and have pretty much settled on paying cash for a Kubota Bx23s. Mostly because all my neighbors recommend the dealer.

I’ve never negotiated a tractor before so wanted to see if you experts had any opinions on the quote before I pull the trigger. I talked to two other dealers and they were around the same price so I don’t think I am being ripped off, but I also assume there’s a bit of wiggle room beyond the first quote.

Quote:
2025 Bx23s - $22,049 (28,368 msrp)
12in bucket - $654 (668 msrp)
Block heater - $305 (? Msrp)
3pt hitch - $334 ($279 msrp)
48in Box blade - $1041 (1131 msrp)
48in shear pin rotary cutter - $2168 (2435 msrp)

I think the tractor price is decent, but was hoping to get 20% off implements and perhaps something extra like filled tires thrown in. Is that hoping for too much? I did have another dealer offer the 3pt hitch and filled tires free, though other things were a bit more expensive so it evened out.

Looking forward to hearing your more experienced thoughts.

Does the Backhoe (BH) not come with a bucket?

For my Massey Ferguson same size as that, I just bought a block heater for $240, and has to install it myself ...

Over all prices seem inline, but I think you should be able to wrangler out free filled tires and a hat!

Some dealers though don't fill tires, and will guide you to a local tire shop that does, so that maybe some the tractor dealer doesn't offer?

I'd try to get a slip clutch model on the rotary cutter, and learn how to adjust it, if you are brush cutting for the first time, not just weeds and grass ... As new territory you just don't know what your new brush hog will "find"!
