Well, he quoted me 20,888 for an R4047H and 5975 for backhoe. That sounds like a really good price. Shipping quote coming. B.
LS package cost?

No doubt Bruce:thumbsup:...AWESOME PRICE!!!! I think you could almost tell him to throw in a trailer to get it where you need it to be for another $500.
I think dealers are clamoring for sales right now---primarily in order to remain competitive and because the LS line is still very new (to many people) and starting to make a name for itself and the company....just MHO....

That does sound like a good price including the backhoe. Let us know what you end up with.

You really think they would do a trailer for 500? Hum...... Interesting. B.

I think if you pushed for it, they would work it out for you to get the sale. I mean think about it, even if it cost you $1,000 to have the trailer included in the deal if you can then go pick it up yourself, you probably would pay that in shipping anyhow. So you'd still get your tractor and a trailer to tote it around on to boot! It's worth an inquiry anyway I would think.
It would be a heck of a road trip though! lol

Okay, from city to city ONE WAY per Mapquest its 2862 miles and figuring 15 MPG on my truck it's $745.00 dollars in fuel and a 45 hour drive. If I team drove it it would be two days straight through. But if I did it solo I would have to add in four sleep stops and of course you can't forget food. Round trip it's 5724 miles!!! And $1490.00 dollars in fuel!!! So the maximum difference between doing it myself and having them ship it is $510.00 dollars IF their shipping estimate stays at $2000.00 dollars. If I made a maximum of six sleep stops and figuring $50.00 dollars a night the difference breaks down to $210.00 dollars. I could easily use that up in food and beverages. So in reality it will most likely be an even split either way. Besides, who wants to drive through Tornado Alley this time of the year. B.

And that's the point I was making on another post I commented on the other day. You guys on the East Coast have really good tractor prices. Bummer dude!!! B.
