Not much, quick connect, and a badge, oh and higher price.

Everything has a higher price now. I'll wait until this predicted recession happens. Bet there will be deals then. Then I'll buy.

I don't know if the prices went up that much, but I watched a you tube video yesterday from a dealer in the same province as me. It was on the RTV-X1100C, same as I have. The price he said with no options was over $5000 more than I paid for mine a year ago!

New tractor prices have been rising year-to-year for a very long time.

I doubt it’ll ever stop but, if a full-blown recession happens, there will be some deals. Most likely in the form of manufacturer rebates/offers and dealer discounts.

For the L6060 50th it’s mostly burnt orange with dark gray paint for the rims & loader. And a 3 pt quick hitch. (Free! Right…). Price quoted to me is the same as a standard model. Salesman does want it to stay local and preferably visible a bit.

I don’t think recession will lower prices, the pandemic scam is impervious to recession as it’s based on supply chain and demand.

I don’t think it’ll cause manufacturers to lower retail prices. I believe they will continue to go up as they have for decades.
However, depending on how impactful this recession may become, I can see some struggling independent dealers to offer discounts and/or some manufacturer incentives/rebates.

You may be right. Strange times we live in now. I'm just real glad there isn't anything I REALLY NEED right now.

Imagine having to now pay $200,000 for a tractor and $50,000 for a baler to sell hay, LOL

Or buying a tractor you can not even fix yourself... (computers, codes, dealer proprietary software....)

Way too many electronics on these newer tractors for me to ever think about buying a new one (same goes for trucks).

I agree. I’m finding that in some cases, the technology in new machinery exceeds the abilities of technicians who work on them. I like the Kubota standard series very much since they’ll do what you want without too much extra electronic gizmos to go kerfluey.
