The new TC60D

[Larry The Tractor Guy]

ROTO,
I think the dealer cost is closer to $23,000 for a TC55 EHSS loader ready (210 package) with R4's if I added in everthing.

Does loader ready mean no actual loader, just the hydralics etc.? Thanks.

"Loader Ready" means that the tractor has the joystick, loader subframe and towers, and hydrualic lines installed at the factory. The loader arms and bucket ship seperate to be installed by the dealer at delivery.

My cost is certainly more than $23,000 for what you specified plus add in freight from Georgia and then pay my shop to pre-deliver the tractor and install the loader. Please use caution when putting cost figures on the forum for all to see, especially when they may be wrong. I wouldn't want anyone getting a pre-conceived price in their head only to find out that it is much higher when in actuality the dealer is making very little profit to start with.
Where are you getting your numbers from anyway? Just curious.

Regards,
Larry

Larry, Shaley is the one that first came up with that figure but I believe he now realizes its much higher then that.

Roto,
I think your price of 27,900 is ok. I have a DX55 on order, same options as yours but with R1's and with the addition of 2 rear remotes and a grill guard. Mine is close to 28,500 including all delivery and prep costs. That's a brand new one. The cost was a thousand or so less if I bought a "new" tractor off the lot, but some of them were built 2 years ago, and they couldn't find one with R1's anywhere. From pricing both DX and TC, they were too close to tell any difference. The financing options will vary btween them though.
