JD wheel weights....? @ $128.00 a pop..?

[JANDG]

I called dealer today about wheel wieghts for my 3032e & he said this tractor will take max 3-60# wieghts perside @ $128.00 per wieght, that would be dang near 900.00 w/ tax for the 6 wieghts....!!!!!!!! Is there a after market versions one can get or am I stuck with JD on this one. I really wan't them as I don't like tying up 3pt w/ ballast box, I just keep box scraper attached most of the time. I have calcium filled rears also. The extra 360# would be nice for this light tractor.

Joe, I found this in doing a google search; Rear JD Wheel Weights | Tractorfieds - FREE Online Farm Equipment Classifieds System - From Tractorfinders.com You might give them a call. I am not sure if it would include the starter weight that is required to bolt the weights to. You might have to get the hardware from Deere for mounting.

I bought 4 60# wieghts for my 2520 and they were about $1.25 a pound, plust the hardware for additional wieghts is extra.

Jandg,
Have your dealer check the price again because that is what the 110 lb weights cost me. He may have read the wrong column price in error.

I think you can set up an account and log into JDparts to get prices on everything. Seems to be very close to what my dealer has quoted me for parts. I have used it for a rough idea of the cost before going to the dealer.

Weights arent listed in JD Parts.....well, let me clarify....they are listed, but they are considered "whole goods" to which pricing is not available thru the JDParts site..

It's always more expensive to go Green.

I disagree. It all depends on what equipment and who you are dealing with -- at least that is the case where I live. Years ago, the local JD dealers didn't budge much from msrp, but in recent years, they will give hefty discounts. The local Kubota dealers won't discount much if any. You may be correct when comparing msrp's for equivalent model tractors. That's been my experience.

Far from it, it all depends on your location and the dealer. The local dealer advertises everything at MSRP, no knock off what so ever. That's why I buy my equipment at the Deere dealer that's about 1.5 hrs away in southern VA. One dealer down there was offering a 3038e w/ loader for 2 - 3k less than the local dealer was. Even if you compared the price of a Deere and Kubota, you'll find 15 different prices in any different location, with both of them alternating between high and low.

I have saved my local dealer in the setup information and it also allows me to view items he has in stock. I am not sure if this is why I can get the prices or not. What I have to do is go through the parts diagram and pick what I want and add it to the shopping cart then click on check shopping cart and it shows the items and their cost. Before setting up this account I could not view cost and still can't just by looking at the part.

Thats because the weight is not considered a "Part" its considered a whole "finished" good...

Example.... Rear Work Light kit for a 3x20 Cab machine....each piece individually is listed, WITH pricing...those are considered parts...the entire Kit is also listed, but that is considered a Whole Good... you need to talk to the sales Dept for pricing...

Wheel weight in itself is a Whole good...

So the whole should sell for less than the sum of the individual parts? I was able to negotiate the price on my FEL some from what I found listed on the build your own section of the JD site, but did not look up individual parts. I understand what you are stating, but did not consider that it could be looked at from that perspective.

Correct.... and why its confusing is essentially the weight is a whole finished good even though its one piece. Hindsight being 20/20...a better example would be the weight mounting kit...by buying the kit you get the bolts, nuts, washers, spacers, etc.. for less then buying each individual piece from Deere...

Because its a whole good...you can negotiate with your salesman on it....just like your FEL... I negotiated the price of my Rear SCV Kit...

I see. Thanks for the explanation. I have contacted the salesman I dealt with on the loader for a price using JD weights and also using another company's weight that I found on this site. I contacted the company and they require going through a dealer. Will wait to see what kind of numbers he comes up with.
