Pricing m7060 cab

[OrangeToys]

I've been talking to my dealer that I have bought 2 tractor from about trading in my open station for a cab due to doing more bush hogging than was originally thought I would. Any way I think he's a little high on price...
12 x12
Loader
Tires filled
2 remotes
radio
Pretty much loaded I think.
Asking 45k, what do you guys think. The local guy in town is a little cheaper 43k I think he said.

It is like any car deal;what is the trade difference?

 

[OrangeToys]

Both are pretty much identical on my trade

Seems to me 43 is a pretty good number.

Waiting to hear back from the dealer to get am exact spec sheet of what he has available

It's been a while since I checked M prices, but the price on a fully loaded M7060 doesn't sound too bad, course it never hurts to shop around. I don't know about your dealer, but ours recommended an aftermarket radio as the ones from Kubota are too expensive. He will install any aftermarket you want or some put their own in. I really think you'll enjoy the cab, it is a lifesaver on ours with all the cutting we do.

Just little nervous if I'll like it since never driven a cab

You'll learn to love it, I had to adapt to it and use none of our open station units anymore due to age and allergies. My brother thought he wouldn't like cabs either until he used mine. He still mostly uses open station units we already owned, but for bush hogging, can't beat a cab.

Are they easy to turn around and watch what's going on behind you? I have a couple properties that I have to back up hills to cut, so I'm turned around the majority of the time watching what I'm doing

Remember, the dealer has to make a living and pushing too hard for a deal will get you last place in line when something goes wrong. As mentioned earlier, 43K is pretty cheap. I would, however, buy two or three sets of rear weights and not load the tires but that's just me. With one set of rear weights and loader they are "bouncy". Filled tires have been a disaster for me so for ME, I would buy the weights.

I always leave some extra $$ on the table for the dealer. One day, when I had a problem with my baler--and $4,000 of hay about to get rained on--he just yanked a part off a new machine and said we'll square up later. I didn't even fully stop since he had someone waiting for me out front with the part.

Let's see; save $4,000 but left $300 on the table still leaves $3,700 for beer money.

Actually I find them easier as I now often use my rear view mirrors to back up hills etc. and I use a pull type mower. I have arthritis in my neck and find both my cab tractors make life easier in many ways.

The dealer that has it listed higher is the same place I've used on the last 2 tractors I've bought. No the best to work with but they aren't rude like my local place, neither place expects somber so young to walk in either place looking to spend 50,000

I just bought a new cab M7060 last week. My options were:

L1154 Loader
3 rear remotes
3rd function on loader
Cast iron rear wheels
KSR
Hydraulic loader leveling valve
Rear wiper/washer
Air ride seat
Grill guard

Out the door price was 47,000 in mid Michigan. I think this was a fair price ~$10,000 off the MSR.
I bought a RTVX1120D last year from the same dealer and have been happy with their post-buy service.
I had always owned John Deere before but they couldn't meet my needs in a 5 series without going to a 5M (about $20,00 more).
I have used it to brush hog one of my fields so far and was impressed with the power. The visibility from the cab is very good. I will be doing some loader work tomorrow and giving it a workout lifting full pallets (1ton a piece).

As mentioned above, I put in an aftermarket stereo from Crutchfield which was better and much cheaper than the unit from Kubota. You can get a harness for the radio from farmradiosupply.com which you can wire to the aftermarket unit and plug right in to the M7060

Overall, so far I am very happy with my purchase.

Thanks for the info. Have you had any ossues woth the skinny tires? Id like to find the woder ones but not enough people have them yet to get enough info if they harm the tractor amy.
I've currently got a 7060 but open station and wanting a cab for the dust while Brush hogging, I'm doing more than I expected or I would have gone cab the first time.
Went to my dealer that I've bought 2 from so far today to look at the cab. I was impressed, just frustrated that they never seem to want to talk serious. Everytime I want a price they always give me "well it's about this $$$" I usually have to get form with them to get a serious answer. Thinking ill be trying another dealer to see how that goes.

No issues with the skinny tires. I wanted the wider front tires but they were not an option that I could order. My dealer was surprised and thought that was a change this year. I may try to get the wider tires when these need replaced.

The cab is nice. While I was brush hogging the other night I had the air conditioning on, listening to Pandora, and even took a phone call hands-free without having to stop mowing. I have always had an open station tractor before but I think I can get used to this.

My dealer sat with me and configured the tractor the way I wanted it, then gave me a discounted price right then. I was comparing it to the John Deere 5e, 5m, Kioti PX7320, and Case 75c. I let the dealer know up front what I was comparing to and he didn't play any games with me. Best of luck on your search.

What size are these "skinny" tires?

 

[Ramses]

What size are these "skinny" tires?

9.5x24 R1's

 

[OrangeToys]

What size are these "skinny" tires?

9.5x24 I think are the biggest they put on but somebody put on a wider tire

 

[TripleR]

Might check with foreman Etexas as he put bigger tires on his second M7040: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...ng/254518-new7040-tire-option.html?highlight=

I have bigger tires on my 8540.

I had a M7060 cab. The prices listed here are about right. Vary alittle by area. As for the tires, to go wider on the front, you have to go taller as well, this they say you'll have to change the back tires as well to maintain the correct transmission ratio.
