Discount for Gc1723

[Tractor_Jack]

Has anyone bought a gc1723e since the new 1e name came out? I’m looking at a new old stock 2024 gc1723e and trying to figure out what a good price would be.

My dealers cash list price:
- tractor + loader = $14,900
- pallet forks = $850
- 48in box blade = $1100
- 48in bush hog = $1700
Total = $18,550 before tax, delivery included

This feels a bit high looking at tractor house listings. But there’s no other Massey dealer anywhere close and the price is way cheaper than any other brand I looked at. So possibly I’m just in a higher priced area?

Given that this is a 2 year old tractor and I’m planning to bundle several implements, how much are y’all negotiating and what would you consider a good price? Also open to getting some extras like block heater or filled tires instead of pure cash discount

Doesn't really sound like discount to me ... If your willing to do free shipping you can get the new 1GC.23 for less than that ...

One of our advertisers Bruno's , just click the link in your computer/phone, this is a screenshot from my phone ...

Look at there new tractors, under Massey Ferguson, 2nd page you will see these ... The Backhoe (BH) model is $4500 more than the one with just a loader, which is $14,000 with free shipping ... But, from another poster here who just ordered one, they will have to pay sales tax on it, at least in South Carolina where it's going to live ...

If you go to the end of this long thread you will see his decision ... https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/need-advice-15-20hp.624433/

In my opinion, that's not a terrible price with the 3 attachments included ($3650 total). Has it been sitting mostly outside for 2yrs? Check closely for dry rot, cracks, rust, fade, etc. I'd try to work the price on the tractor/loader down. Shoot for ~$18K out the door.

Shawn you are such a wealth of information! That is super useful to have when I try to negotiate, thank you!

Yeah I haven’t taken too close of a look at it yet but I do believe it has been outside so those are my concerns as well.

Assuming no issues with those things if I could get $18k out the door I think I’d be happy!

Yeah for $18K it's not a bad deal, but nothing spectacular either... Are the attachments also old stock ... ? While it may look OK, the seat and dash will have some weather "wear and tear" which may show up later sooner than normal ... But that's just my opinion, as I park mine inside a barn! (I also wash and wax mine at times!)

Check on the forks ... Do they have a back guard/rack? How long are they 36" - 42"? How heavy are they? What are they rated at?

While I have a set of very heavy duty (for my tractor size!) 42" forks they have 4" wide forks, and rated at 4,000 Lbs which my little tractor can only lift a quarter of that weight! So ... That means since they weigh 347.4 Lbs, if they were a 100 Lbs lighter, I could pick up another 100 pounds of "stuff" ... 3" wide and a 2500 Lb rating would weigh a lot less ... For me a back rack/guard is critical!

What price would you consider a good deal?

I don’t even wax my truck so I think fergie may get treated a little better than my future tractor will

 

[Shawn T. W.]

I think $17K is what I'd offer for the "package deal" ... Maybe go up $400-$500 if I felt we were close on a price if he hesitated ...

At about 675 hard hours ...

She cleans up nice!

This is what she looked like before I got the hose out!

I cleaned up my 20 year old Kubota too when I got, it hadn't been pampered ...
