I was on a waiting list for a MX HST tractor with about 5 different dealers; all told me not to expect anything for a least 9 months. Yesterday I was called by a dealer in an adjacent state; they have a MX6000 that someone ordered and declined to buy. I’m the lucky one who will take delivery in a few weeks.

If you don,t mind sharing, how was the pricing between different dealers ?
Hard to imagine any deals out there these days, but I would love to hear from someone that prices are starting to get down a little closer to normal.

Pricing was similar between dealers. I didn’t find anything that stood out in base tractor prices between dealers. What I did find is the dealer I’m buying from is more willing to go the extra mile. He is loading tires with bio-balast, installing chain hooks on the loader bucket, and arm rests on the seat for no upcharge. Also he sold me a steel canopy for $450; cheaper than the Kubota plastic canopy. Another big savings is that he isn’t charging sales tax because I’m not a resident of the state where the dealership is located.

That would be about $2800.00 in PA! The way things are going, you'll need it for fuel!!

Congratulations and good luck with it!


Let's go Brandon!

Also, price was very similar to the Kubota online tractor builder price.

Congrats! I had a bit of good news. I had to go to the dealer to get a new hydraulic hose made and just as I was leaving, the sales guy stopped me and said they got the L4060 in, and the only reason he didn't call was because no loaders yet, no clue when they will arrive either, but at least the tractor is there.

Nice. Looks like you got lucky as well.

I got the call earlier this week. My tractor will be delivered next Wednesday. Unfortunately the 7’ offset rear blade is back ordered 6 months. So it looks like I’ll have to plow snow this winter with my old under-sized 5 foot blade.

Well it arrived today. Christmas came early. MX6000 with loader, canopy, 6’ rotary cutter, and 4000# pallet forks. Also rear tires loaded with bio-ballast and chain hooks welded to bucket. The 7’ offset rear blade is back ordered. Sure is nice.

Way above my needs! Looks great.

Just a ROFL from another post, kind of, but make sure your oil pan drain plugs are tight.

Granted, I did not when I bought both my tractors new, and think double checking dealer prep should not be necessary...But...

I think the first thing you should do is go out and scrape-up a load of gravel in that bucket and get the paint scratched up inside it…… so you can get that DONE and OVER! :ROFLMAO:

(Congratulations on your new Kubota!)
