Sorry for the delay;I talked to a guy named Mike( i think) at Klem`s and your right he was peculiar.Actually i was comparing the TC29d with the L3010. Im not sure how different the TC33d is but i ended up buying the L3010 from Ahearns.The guy i talked to at Ahearns was Tim. He was quite helpful and he ended up coming out to my place(about a 45minute drive) to take a look at my old ford 2000 that i used for a trade.Like i said, i was comparing a different model than you because they did not have a TC33d at the time, but i felt the L3010 was alot bigger and more of a tractor than the TC29d.

If you folks really want to know what a dealer pays for a tc33d NH go back to the MN state dot sight and look at the factory codes. a TC33D with loader valve cost 13,552.00, industrial tire package, 935.00, 7308 loader 1871.00 hd bucket 337.00 for a total cost of 16695.00 plus 435. freight cost on average for most dealers depends on location in country so this is a total cost of 17130.00 the dealer has a settlement allowance of 300.00 on the 7308 loader and 650.00 on the tc33d so this brings his cost down too 16180.00
so a price of 17k is a real good deal and should be jumped on imediately. because the dealer also has set up cost which if he does a good job should be about 4 hours plus delivery cost... so you can see in this pricing example the dealer was in no way taking advantage with a 17k price if you figure all the dealers cost a price of 18-19k is still a good deal but I would push for a price around 18500.00 most dealers can live with that. I work for a NH dealer! So now you all know how to read the cost on these tractors

rickyl25,

Thanks for the information. It's good to know I got such a good deal.

I almost feel guilty... you think I should send them more money?

I do plan on buying future implements from him.

I'm on it. It's the back hoe...... I never wanted something so bad that I can't justify spending so much on. I did find out that I could save about 1500 going from a 757C to a woods 7500. I want to hear from someone that has one.

Fernbank:
I was quoted $18,235 for a TC33D with R4 tires (adds $240 over Ag tire pricing) and 7308 FEL. I was able to talk him down to $17,500.

I ended up getting a Woods 1012 FEL instead for an extra $250. I chose this due to heavier lifting capacity and higher rollback and dump angle than the NH 7308 loader.

I've got about 20 hours on it so far, but do not have the loader yet (it just came in yesterday). I've been very happy with it so far, but it hasn't really gotten a tough workout, since all I'm doing is running a 60" brush mower. (Soon to be using the FEL and a borrowed box scraper).
