Let\'s help this fellow get the right info

There is a poster in the Case-IH forum who has received price quotes on a new tractor and I think something is not right about his prices. He is saying his quote for a DX40 with LX116 loader is under $19,250 and a DX45 with loader for $21,000. I don't think that is possible. I think there is something he is missing because he is new to these tractors. The DX40 is the same as the TC40DA with 16LA. I don't think there is any way to get that tractor new for $19,250.

I just think this fellow is mistaken about something, but I seem to be the only one who is speaking up to say something isn't right. If you are interested, how about checking out his post and giving him your opinion whether you agree with me or not. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

DX40 Pricing

Re: Let\'s help this fellow get the right info

I priced a tc45 or a tc48da ( can't remember which ) about 2 months ago, when I bought my 7610s and they were low 20's.. like 22 or 24. That dealer also had mcormicks and mahindra's on the lot.. an equivalant model on those other two were in the 18k range... ( this was without loader.. but a larger tractor.. ).

Any possibility the price would be correct? I havn't priced a 40.. what have you seen them going for?

I got my 2003 TC40D hydrostatic drive , 16LA loader, R4's this past March. It was new with 0.4 hours on it for $1995. It was from a last years model closeout sale.

Jim,

I agree with you and have posted some numbers for him in the Case forum.

Thanks, Froggy. I have no interest in doing anything but getting this guy the correct info. He said he was a newbie and if someone is feeding him a line, he needs to know it.

Soundguy, what I've been seeing is about $23k for a TC40DA with loader and $24.5k for a TC45DA with loader. I wouldn't be surprised to see plus or minus $500 from those prices due to some dealer incentive.

Stonefox, as a left-over, your tractor must have been sold to you at near dealer's cost ($19,950?). You got a great, great deal. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif I don't think you'd expect to find a brand new TC40DA and loader for $700 less. I surely don't think the Farmall DX40 would ever be sold for those prices either.

I haven't priced these tractors in two years but did find, two years ago, a dealer that sold a school a TC40D/SS, 914A MMM (84"), 17LA, 1 or 2 rear remotes and a cab for just under $25k. This was not the dealer I bought from (the dealer I bought from went out of business about a year after my purchase) but a dealer I ahve been going to for parts and service for the last three years.

Don't know how they did it but that is the price they told me. Questioned them to be sure and told them what I had paid for just a TC40D/SS with the 17LA and their only comment was that they would be happy to have my business.

Re: Let\'s help this fellow get the right info

Well, back in Jan. of 2001, I bought a TC45D, 16LA, and two remotes for $22,000. I was very happy with that price even though I ended up paying higher interest than most do now. If you add in 3% increase in price and another 3% for steel surcharge, you end up around $23,500 for that same tractor today. I think you are also going to pay extra to support the 0% interest too. You don't see it, but nobody I know gives away money. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Anyhow, I don't think any of us would expect to find a new 2004 TC40DA with 16LA for under $20,000. A DX40 with LX116 loader for $19,250? ...I wanna see the sales slip. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Re: Let\'s help this fellow get the right info

I agree with Jinman, and this was recently posted over on the JD board by Zip669...

"My other price is a new holland TC45DA, supersteer, 16la loader,grill guard, r4's 2mid & 2 rear scvs. sale price is $26200."

I paid $22,500 for my TC40D (16LA, QA, 2 remotes, R4s, etc.) back in April of 2003. Probably paid a bit too much, but if I could get one today for 19.2, I grab it just for a spare /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Paid $20,800 for my TC40DA with 16LA - new 2004 model in July. Don't think it is probably right to put up dealer names, but if someone wants to know, they can PM me...

Re: Let\'s help this fellow get the right info

Sounds like some dealers are putting them out at cost then.. So the 19k price for an 04' while ultra low seems like it could be possible.. especially id 2005's are ont he lot now. ( demo? bought and returned unit? )
