montana vs mccormick

[ihuntbear]

what is the difference between the two? are they both made by LS or something else.same motor cab looks the same and that dam fuel tank is at the same spot right behind the front tire.What about the fel,it looks the same.only thing I can see difference is the price .the montana has a new sale about 6000.00 off the price.I told the salesman red or green doesn"t matter but give me a good price .He said he put a call into mccormick to see if they would match the price of the montana.What do you guys think.I started looking at the kioti but I like the color red better.need your opinion thanks
sorry forgot to say I'm looking at 45 to 50 hp

They are the exact same except the color.

All things equal, I'd go with Kioti. More stable brand (Montana is in state of flux) and the DK45 is one sweet tractor.

Is Montana really in that much trouble? I've been looking at a 4340c and really like it. Any word Ihuntbear on McCormick matching Montanas price? I'm shopping in New Brunswick as well and think that Montana deal will be hard to beat.

Seems like I heard tym was also very similar (or the same) as montana, is this correct?

 

[ihuntbear]

no word yet on price but its pretty close.montana 29995.00 for the 4384 and 33995.00 for the ct55 mccormick.tym not the same. everything looks cheap on the tym

maybe if we each at the same time we could get a better deal.Patterson sales in miramichi is the place to shop ask for marc

I never said they are in trouble, just seemingly in a state of flux. It's unclear who is making their tractors. There seem to many players making stuff for them. That bothers me a bit concerning parts and service down the road.

Dealer network is also suspect (not the others aren't too).

I'd shop as many brands and makes as possible before pulling the trigger. I'd think the Kioti would be at or maybe even less than those prices. Or even MF too.

 

[ihuntbear]

the price I was quoted was for a cab air and heat ,fel,two remotes in the rear,indust tires

so if montana is in state of flux does that mean mccormick is to...are they built by LS or different
