I am ready to make this deal for a
M59 TLB. Does the price sound fair? $53,900
It's a nice tractor. I like ours. Some features do need some more thought by Kubota, but the bottom line is that I'd buy the same tractor again.
I won't comment about "fair", but that is more than most people paid for their
M59. You are being quoted about 10% higher than the average price others paid when I bought mine a few months ago....and about 15% over the best deal I was offered locally. That was right before the current financial meltdown. As a serious buyer that you are in a good position right now. BTW, I did not take the lowest priced tractor - preferring a different dealer.
Sometimes it is harder for a dealer to lower price than to throw in some extras. You are going to want: more lights, a shop manual, some filters, the front acc. hydraulic outlets, maybe chains & a block heater. The Kubota Extended Warranty is definitely worth including in the price....it is a "must have". The quick attach (QA) bucket mounts give you the ability to quickly mount special buckets. You may want one. I use a rock bucket and LandPride's QA front three point hitch.
