I got quoted this summer, the same deal you are looking at, but it was priced at $18,500.00 Doesn't sound like too good of a deal to me.

The formula where I worked was 23% off list then add $300 for setup. I used to sell 990's at around 15% over cost which is fair but not gouging.

It seems a touch high. I got a little bit more (attachments) for a little bit less than your quote, but I also got the 513 cutter---the light duty precursor to the LX5. Not sure how the MX6 boosts the price.

Lidoug, if you get the MX6 be sure you get extra ballast for
the front. The MX6 weighs about 1100 lbs. I bought a 2001
990 two-wheel drive with 69 hours with a MX5 cutter for
$8500.00. The steal of the century. The guy had paid
$16,500 in 2001, had paid notes for 38 months and still
owed $6500 on the rig. We paid Deere off and I paid him
$2000 cash. The MX5 weighs 850 lbs. I have three 42-lb.
satchel weights on the front and the front is still light when
I pick up the cutter. I am going to add three more weights
to the front for a total of six (252 lbs.) I love my tractor
and cutter. I have since bought a 6 1/2 ft disc and a 5-ft
harrow. Also a friend gave me a boom pole. I now want a
box blade.
