Looking to Buy

[Mike1369]

Call farm credit leasing services, that's who I used. I got the tractor as a lease with the option of $1.00 buy out on last payment. ( actually did a $5000 buy out to lower my payments) lisa was wonderful to work with and the best thing is I get to write off the tractor every month because its a lease.
Call Lisa at (561) 568-0767 or google the company. I just got an interest rate below 4% and that was the best I found anywhere.

Good luck... Don't give up on the fight...

Thanks for the info Mike. It has helped me a bunch, and I may be back on track now. Had I known about 'Farm Credit' before, I would have not even applied with 'Agri-Credit'. Big difference in how they work with potential customers, thats for sure!

Anything to get a fellow tractor lover into a new LS.

Did you call Lisa or google the company.


Keep us posted

 

[mangus580]

Talked with Lisa a bunch yesterday, she was a TON of help. But in the end, I had to go to the local office to actually apply.

 

[Mike1369]

Whatever it takes to get you into an LS.
Good luck

Credit is a wonderful thing as long as you dont use too much of it and dont let the credit folks get you into something that you cant afford. Those greedy #$%^ almost bankrupted the World with their scheme to inflate prices, manipulate the system and then pawn off the loan to someone else prior to it defaulting.
JUST SAYING

I also have a 3033. Where did you get the floor mat? Or did you make it yourself. I have thought about taking off the floor pan and having it sprayed with bedliner. Thanks, ken

 

[mangus580]

Ken, the floor mat I talk about is on the R3039, not the G3033

 

[fastedc5]

The floor mat I used was a self made rubber floor runner I purchased at Lowe's. I sprayed both sides with glue after cutting. It wasn't easy to install because of the uneven floor but is working out well. Your idea of the bedliner sounds good. How hard is it to remove the floor deck?

 

[woodsman74881]

Easy, just remove a few bolts. Nothing is attached to the pads or trans shroud.

My R4047H was delivered on Sat, and while I only have 5hrs on it, I'm impressed. Just FYI, it was $21,500 delivered (added forklift attachment for a total of $22,250). It's hard to compare prices from different regions, but thought it might give you some intel.

I should note that the one frequent comment/gripe I've heard is somewhat valid. Folks say that it's a tight fit for big guys. I don't think it's so much the seating position, as it is the space between the fenders and pedals when you're getting on/off. If they opened up that area a little bit, it would be better....I may cut an inch or so off the left side of the left brake pedal. It won't impact function, and will make ingress/egress easier. That's it so far...

I have been extremely happy with my LS G3038H. Good machine so far!!

 

[RAYJAY]

very happy with mine, very smooth running machine, my wife used it over the weekend and can't believe how good it drives and the way the loader work,

i looked at the 40 series also the 30 series to me is a lot more nimble that is why i got the 3039 is the price you got with a FEL and loaded tires ??

[SBorch]

My price was with FEL. I'm 6'3" and 275lb. My impression on fit is the same. My dealer said he could raise seat 2" with blocking.

 

[mangus580]

The dealer has been informed to ready my chariot!!!


My financing was approved. I just need to iron out the details of my downpayment, and final cost of the tractor.

I have the dealer down to 18600, dropping the 'premium warranty' (meaning free pickup & delivery for warranty work), and being able to drop some being a 'cash deal' by not financing through them.

He would go down another $400 by not loading the tires... making it 18200. That seems to be right in the price range I was seeing elsewhere.

I was able to sneak a look at his invoice for the tractor while he was off doing something, and honestly, he is not making much on the deal. I am comfortable with the price, and now I just need to arrange my down payment. I have most of what is needed, just need to make sure I have enough!

If all goes well, its possible I will have it on Saturday!!!

 

[Mike1369]
