Buying Advice What SHOULD I buy? Many questions from a newbie...

[foreman Etexas]

I just got back from the local 'Bota shop... I'm still dissapointed...

1st he tried to tell me all o-y'all had given me bum advice and tried to get me into a smaller tractor. Then he tried to sell me an M7040 shuttle shift which I thought was too big. The only MX5100 he had was a std shift.

He ended up quoting me on a L4740HST and a L5740HST (which he can't get until Oct, or I have to ship it from ~200 miles away).

I'm still digesting the specs compared to the BC CT450 last night (but at first glance the 'Bota comes up short). The 4740 is also over $4000 MORE with only 60 months financing. The 5740 is simply too much $$$ for me...

Kioti is next, but I might end up doing it across the internet, I've got a TON of work to do because I finally got a renter from one fo my homes...

So...

Still shopping, but I'm leaning towards the BC. I checked and cannot find a LS dealer nearby with any inventory.

So he said we were sterring you wrong and tried to sell you a smaller tractor,then tried to get you to buy the 7040 a way bigger tractor:laughing:Some dealers

Ok, I spoke to TWO Kioti Dealers on the phone.

One quoted me MSRP.

The other quoted me the lowest price yet, but only by $250 or so.

So....

The interesting thing he said, that irritates all the BC tractor fans is that Kioti is not renewing the deal to build BC tractors anymore... They only have 1 year left. Personally that makes no difference to me. I'm sure somebody will service it...

I'm tempted to buy the Kioti vs. the BC because of the warranty though.

I need to compare apples to apples now.

Thanks all for all the advice. Watch this space for updates.
Be well,
David

I don't think it has been mentioned, but doesn't Muhammed, one of the Site Administrators have a book on tractor selection?

 

[MossflowerWoods]

OK, I spoke with the BC dealer, and he basically will meet the other guys price.

I'm going to try and sit on the Kioti tomorrow and judge the controls etc. I am also asking for the cost for , liquid filled tires, hooks welded on the bucket, and 2 rear remotes.

Am I forgetting anything?

I heard the FEL for BC is a Rhino? does that mean anything?

Also, the BC guy said final assembley is in the USA.

That is all for now. I need a beer...

Be well,
David
