Pricing question on new 2014 M9960 Kubota

[Cleancut]

New guy here. I'm Canadian and was wondering if $63000 was a decent price for a 2014 M9960 with a M36 self leveling loader and a 24 speed transmission, radial tires and cast centers in the rear, and 2 remotes? Is this tractor going to hold out on the farm? General yard maintenance and some Pto work is what I'd use it for. I know a John Deere loader and tractor of that size is a little more heavy duty. Some features on here are attractive and also the pricing. Thanks.

Canada dollars right? Power Shuttle or straight shuttle? Either way, from what I've read and heard, that's a very good deal. Kubota is very well regarded, I would be very surprised if you have any trouble doing the tasks you list and more. The Kubota XX60 tractors are the premium class in very good lineup.

Yes its Canadian $. And yes its the power shuttle. I've been borrowing my brothers JD 5083E for loader work and I need my own. John Deere wants a bit more money( about $4500) and then only a non self leveling loader, smaller tires, and only bias tires yet , and Kubota has a better transmission. If I want self leveling I have to move to an M series on the JD and then a big jump in coin.
I contemplated the Kioti but it only has a syncro shuttle and you have to clutch

What are the emmisions on the kubotas? Def system or other?

The 2014 is DPF and the 2015 will have Def yet.

Thinking of upgrading my m7040 to the m9960. Nice setup.

If Kubota had corner post exhaust on the 60 series cab models, I might have bought a 9960 last fall. The prior 40 series cab models had corner post exhaust; I don't understand why they changed the exhaust location on the 60. I ended up ggetting a NH T4.95.

I priced a 9960HDC12 last fall for $52,900 US. The 24 speed was an add of $2,400 at the time. Tractor was equipped with 3rd function, 3 rear remotes, 540E PTO, cast rears, radial tires, NSL loader, air ride seat, etc. I would recommend getting the 100 amp alternator even though it's an add of about $500.

Thanks guys for the feedback. According to your pricing coolnature, my price here sounds decent. Got to add about 25%. I did not ask about alternator. It does not have the 540e pto and no air ride seat. This unit is on the yard. According to the Canadian website it has a 100 amp alternator. It has the defrost lines in the back windows which I think is a cold climate thing.

What would you feel the advantages of the NH over Kubota? How did the pricing compare? Thx
