Buying Advice LS vs TYM vs Kioti

[Torvy]

Odd. I have never seen a TYM with the loader and bucket not included with the tractor pricing. There may be incentives for new dealers, but that just sounds odd.

I didn’t even have a no loader option

Just going by what that salesman told me.

Oh, just looked at the estimate. Sorry. It was a big dealer in Tennessee, not Florida. Too many quotes in too short of a timespan for my brain to be able to handle. The TN guy wanted $35,000 for the T474HC, plus an additional $4,700 for the loader and bucket. This past Tuesday I put down a deposit for $32,700 for tractor including the loader with bucket from my local dealer in north Florida. Of course, could always wind up that my dealer made a BIG mistake, which would be real interesting in how he would handle that one.

YMMV, of course.

??????? That TN price doesn't sound right. Onedia Equipment in TN has the T474HC with the cab and loader advertised for $33,100. 2023 TYM T474HC For Sale in Oneida, Tennessee

I can buy a cabbed 474 with loader here for about $33k... And we don't have large high volume dealers either

That's a heck of a deal for a 45hp cab machine with a loader.

This is right off the Big Tex Website for the Branson/TYM big brother of the 474. When I bought from them a wee bit ago they would sell me the 5520 for the same as my 574. So, effectively you could get a T494HC for about the same price and these include 4 implements.

I'm wondering what part of this is seasonal clearance vs manufacturer incentive to clear inventory because there are signs the economy is slowing?

 

[Torvy]

These deals from my dealer haven't changed much. I drive by there fairly often. They are moving inventory. To be fair they were one of, if not the biggest, Branson dealer in the US before the merger.

Those prices have been stable since last year… I shopped weekly for two years, so I’m very familiar. These are not price reductions.
