purchased m5040 today

[zebrex]

Because I found it so helpful to me when another poster on this board listed the price of his recent purchase on this board I am going to do the same.

The tractor is a m5040 4WD with syncro shuttle shift, la1153 loader, grill guard, canopy, rear work light

my out the door price was $26320

I chose to go with the 0% instead of the $600 cash discount

I expect to take delivery thursday or friday. I will post Pics

you made the right choice. I am continually amazed at how many people get sucked into the high priced/undersized grand L series when they get much more guts/size/and HP for their money in the M series. just ask any M series owner. enjoy! bb

looked seriously at the L5740, would love to have that cab, but the 5040 seemed a better choice for the property. bigger axles, larger bucket, much higher lifting capicity

Zebrex:

I appreciate you sharing your buying experience and pricing. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on the same tractor.

Yes and I might add that the M is 165 lbs heavyer that the L, rear tires are the same width. The M's are of a larger dia. 52 HP is 52 HP. For logging and a woods tractor the L is perfect for me. Small enough for the woods a big enough for the field. I will be trading up soon to and L5040 shuttle shift but I can not get a Kubota cab, so I will have to go with a Laurin.

I love my new M5040!

If I was buying today, it would be an M5040. Having said that, my little L4400 is a master on woods roads, small food plots and in the woods.

I would hardly call my grand L 3540 HSDC an undersized machine. Too bad you don't have the class to just congratulate zebrex on his purchase without offending the many grand L owners here at TBN!

I got an M6040 4WD with FEL a couple of weeks ago for 27,000.00 and it was a hydraulic shuttle. I didn't get a top but it has the Industrial tires on it. I bought from a Northeast Georgia dealer. That might be to far.

Be sure to call Northside Equipment in Richmond, Ky. 859-623-5167.

From what I've been told on TBN, what I paid, and in comparison to what I've heard others have bought the M5040 for, they're the cheapest place around.

Call them up and ask for Mike or Ryan. Ryan was my initial contact there, but all the paperwork and price negotiations were done with Mike. He's one of the owners and is a super nice guy to work with. The sticker on my 4wd M5040 Syncro Shuttle was $19550.

I bought it on a Monday and they got my tractor ready for me in a day. I picked it up Wednesday at lunch if I recall correctly.

Tell them I sent ya that way. I'm as cheap as the day is long, picky, and indecisive to boot. They made buying the tractor super easy for me.
