Decisions, decisions

[Billy Bee]

I've now decided my next tractor will be a LS. The wife is even on board.
I'm either getting the R4047 for $22250, or the U5030 for $27500.
On all honesty, I know the 4047 will do everything I need, no problem. But, I really like the self-leveling bucket, larger fuel tank, of the 5030.
The dealer who has the 5030 said he'd load the tires for free at that price.

I've sat on the 5030, but not the 4047. Is the seating/control area about the same size?
Do you think the dealer has any negotiation room on either?

Is that an out the door price on the R 4047? Is it hydrostat? That is almost a thousand less than I was quoted here in Mich. on an R 4041H

Been dubbin' around with it, moving snowbanks, transporting firewood, etc.. I really like it. Big step up in ease of use from the old Long 460 I've been using.

A few minor annoyances with it:

1. I wish you could start it without having to be on it pushing in the clutch.
2. The operator's manual translation from korean to English is really bad.
3. Every tractor needs a tool box. Why they don't include one is beyond me.

Other than that, I love it.

2. Agreed the translation is not the best.

That was for shuttle shift.

$21,600 for a 4041H at my dealer....about 100mi from you give or take. No ideas if he has any 4047s left, but they were $22,500 last I knew.

Thanks G Man, I was quoted 23,320 out the door on an R 4041H. At 21,600 even with tax added it would be 22,896 at your dealer. I could drive 100 miles for 400 bucks, if it is 21,600 out the door that would be considerable savings.

You know, that's a good point about tax. It seems most people here talk about out the door prices without tax, but not always...it certainly makes a difference. My dealer has usually negotiated a bit from their CL price, so you could probably get them down closer to $21,000 before tax. At the very least, that would give you a quote to negotiate with the dealer you've already spoken to. The other thing is that Michigan's agricultural tax exempt status requirements are pretty generous, so you might be able to take advantage of that.

Im proud to say that I paid 20,000 out the door in late 2011 for my R4041EZ. That put me at 18,800 for machine and 1200 for the 6% sales tax. Had it delivered for free too.
