Anonymous Poster · Mar 9, 2003

After narrowing down the tractor I would like to buy here are some prices I was given,

L3130 4WD Glide shift 72” FEL, AG tires $17,900 No tax He also wanted another $7500 for a Bradco 7 FT Backhoe subframe I am not into the Bradco.

The next tractor I was quoted on was a B7800 with a FEL, AG Tires was $15,200

I live in northern NJ and was Quoted the prices from Powerco In Clinton NJ.
The other dealer Tristate Rental was way out of line from what I have researched.

I still have to decide on which model to get but I wanted to know about these prices.
Thanks

The L's and the B's are two pretty different animals. If you have the space and maneuvering room for the L and can afford the extra couple $$ in the monthly payment, that's what I would recommend.

Personally, I'd look into the hydro version of the L. With it's ground speed indicator, (personal preference aside) I don't see where the gear models have any real advantage over the hydro. (Please, let's not start another hydro vs. gear debate.)

That seems about in line with the prices I was quoted for a 3130 HST with a LA513 loader with a standard (66") bucket-$17300. The LA723 loader costs about $550 more than the LA513. The GST is $300 less than the HST.
