Free FEL from Bobcat!

[Stever996]

That seems like quite a deal, doesn't it? Either that or 0% for 60mos. This from upper Midwest dealer new to CUTs...don't know if it's local, regional, national.

What Bobcat model compares to JD's 3032e?

On HP alone (which probably isn't the best way to compare tractors) the nearest Bobcat is the CT230 (30.0 HP) or the CT235(34 HP). Bobcat has a (bobcat only) model comparator on their website:

Compare Compact Tractor Specifications - Bobcat Company

Seems the bobcat CT235 is popular so you should be able to get a reasonable amount of feedback here.

So.......this isn't a new deal I gather. And maybe the hardware for the FEL isn't included, and Bobcat prices are a little higher than most?

Did I get all excited for nothin'?

Well.....if I understand correctly, the free loader deal was over at the end of May. So if your dealer has some new dealer program incentives.....you may actually be getting a deal. Only way to find out is to compare prices with another dealer.

I recently priced a ct235 and was told there was about a $600 difference between now and the expired loader deal....due to current incentives and discounts. I believe that is accurate. Also, the Bobcat's have a good price to offer at the current prices....IMO....just not as good as they have been.

From a HORSEPOWER standpoint....the 3032 Deere would compare with the ct235.....But the Bobcat outweighs the Deere and will therefore out-pull it (IMO) and the hydraulics and other standard features are stronger on the Bobcat.....again IMO.
