Thanks for your help.

After examining the advice I received on my other thread I've decided on the 3400, including the FEL.

I received the following quote from a central Iowa dealer (before tax etc.). How does this price sound to you

$19,400 includes:

L3400 4WD HST
Woods 60" brush mower
filled ag tires
LA463 front Loader

It depends...

I could have gotten mine for $16,500 +/- without the rear remote. Is the brush mower worth $3900? If not, I'd say you're paying a bit too much.

I agree!

The current quote I have for a Maine L3400DT is $16,200 including FEL, $14,900 for a L2800DT. Also $500 off the first implement bought with the tractor. Not any hard bargaining to get that price, just looking at the options to a B7800. Add $550 for R4s and $600 for a remote valve.

Still not enough to get me off of dead center, but did notice they had six or so 3400s available.

I recommend you get a total price breakdown from your dealer. The L3400HST, LA463 loader, and the Wood's 60" mower, and any other extras. If you are getting R-4 tires, that adds at least $400 to the bottom line.

Then submit the numbers here, and we can tell if you are getting a fair deal. Most of the time I find they tend to inflate the cost of the LA463 loader. Also, the cost of the HST should not be more than $1200 list over the basic gear drive transmission. I also have seen the price of the HST add only $1000 to the cost. In my experience of tractor purchases, they tend to jack-up the price of the loaders for their profit. Good luck!
