Price Check JD 4110 FEL & BH pricing

[Cliff_Johns]

OK, Here's what I am hoping to get.

JD 4110 R4s
Duel SCV
rear hydraulic outlet
Frops (tall hoop for BH)
Block heater
410 FEL (ballast box + level indicator)
46 BH

I total that out at 23,827 list price from the JD web site.
10% off would be 21,444
15% off would be 20,252
20% off would be 19,061
25% off would be 17,890

My closest dealer (and one I've bought from before) gave
me a price of $21,900 which they said was a good discount
because they added in $650 worth of setup and delivery
fees. After I told them that was too high and left, they
emailed me a new price of about $21,000.

The next closer dealer quoted me 23,338. $500 off
list price.

The next dealer (still under 30 miles) quoted me 20,500.


I know the axiom, "Buy from the best dealer." but to be honest.
I don't really know how to tell the best dealer. They all have
active parts departments. They all have apparently well run
and active repair shops. My other Deere had no problems
in the 6 years I've owner it (LT166 Lawn Tractor)
so I don't have any experience with that dealers quality of work
or attitude, so it's kind of luck of the draw anyway. I like
all the sales people well enough. They are all helpful and
not pushy.

So is the 20,500 as good as I'll get, or should I go farther
west (away from the city) and keep looking?

Thanks for any advice,
Cliff

(Don't laugh, it's not the amount of land you have, it's what
you need to do with it the defines what tractor you need.)

(OK, maybe you can laugh.)

"$650 worth of setup and delivery fees..." /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Nice markup for the dealers, those prices are steep. I don't know how much the 46 BH lists for. I read an ad last night for a dealer in Bad Axe Michigan (JD Implement Inc) where they list a 4110 4wd hydro with 410 FEL for $13890. When I bought my 4210 package it was for 25% off MSRP and they did not charge me anything for setup and and delivery.

If I were in your place, I would keep looking, my impression is the dealers get enough business so they are not trying to make a new customer. And, this is not a good time of the year to be wheeling and dealing on a tractor package. Try the site at www.muttonpower.com and see what kind of prices you come up with there. That dealer was within $150 of the price of the JD I bought locally.

If I remember /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif right I paid $21,600 for my 4115 set up the same way and I also had work lights and a 13" BH bucket in addition to the standard 9" bucket. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Even in my neck of the woods what you were quoted (4110 pkg) was the pricing for me in a 4115 with all the trimings ( $23-24k)...

I paid $23K for a 4310 MFWD eHydro, 430 and 47 last year. All my dealers in the area were about the same price. But I emailed other dealers that I found on the Deere dealer locator and found one that was $3K less and still within easy driving distance. Suddenly the closer dealer could match that price, but I went with the guy that gave me the best price up front.

That said, I don't think the dealers who were higher were out to cheat me. A dealer has to make a profit to stay in business, and I need a dealer.

Also, there are many things that a dealer can throw in that may be worth a lot more than the $500 you might save, like delivery, pickup, supplies, etc.

One more angle. If you are able to consider other models, you could ask if they have any better deals on another machine. I had a guy getting bids on a 4510 recently that I suggested try this. He asked and found a 4710 that was almost the same price as the 4510s he was getting bids on!

OK, I guess it's still hard to get an idea of what I
should be paying, but I do know that I will be calling
more dealers for quotes. I really wanted to get the setup
for around $18,000, but that's not looking so good
right now. I may have to downgrade my choices in some
way.

Thanks for the help.

46 backhoe lists at $5,799. You need power beyond ($210) and a tall
ROPS hoop ($100) to go with it.
