Hello all,
I am strongly considering getting a 4x4 MX54 gear drive open staion. The quote I got from my local Kubota dealership quoted me $37,200 base price with front-end loader. Does this sound reasonable. Should I call around to other dealers to see if there is any different offer? Is there any negotiating on the price with them? This is my first time buying a new piece of equipment so I am not sure what my options are.
We would also be getting a trailer in the package as well. It is 20'x83" double 10,000lb axle tow behind with ramps - this is $5,500.
Options I am considering :
3rd function for front end loader - $1,200
top - n - tilt $1,000( I have used this on a few tractors and it is very handy. Is it possible to use this option as a rear remote as well? Meaning when I need a rear remote I would remove the cylinder, and put in a regular link. Then I would have the ports where the top - n - tilt plug in available for rear remote. What do y'all think
It would also be nice to have a second remote, but they are each $1,200!
Are the remotes something I could add and save some cost?
Possibly getting a canopy. Maybe they'll negotiate to at least throw this in lol?
Thinking about 7 pin connector(this is only 150 bucks and if it means I can control trailer brakes it seems like a good investment.
Is heavy duty bucket worth the extra money $1,200. The guy at Kubota told me they usually just sell the bolt on tooth bar for $500 instead and that this reinforces the bucket.
