Local dealer just got a shipment of 20+ CT225's in

Just noticed the other day that the local Bobcat dealer got a big shipment of tractors in. Most of them are CT225's but there are some larger ones also. There is a sign out front for a CT225 with FEL for $15k. They also have several Kioti's as well.

What is everybody else paying for for CT225, 230 and 235's with FEL? I am not necessarily in the market for a tractor but am always a sucker for a good deal!

Back in 2005, I paid 17k for a Kioti CK30hst with fel. Similar to the CT230. The CK30hst was 1k more than the CK25hst but back then it was truely 25hp instead of the newer 27hp engine that has been used for a few years now. That seems like a grand less in 8 years. Some say the CK25hst is a little short on hp unless it's a gear.

I finally stopped by to talk to the dealer. They still have quite a few tractors left. I don't think my first count was accurate - they had close to equal numbers of 122, 225 and 230 models. They have about 25 left.

The salesman was firm on his price: $15k for a 225 and $16.2k for a 230. This is the cash price with a FEL.

I don't really "need" a tractor so that price isn't going to work for me.
