Holy cow, I paid 25k for a 50hp new.

You might want to consider that JD, NH, and Case charge 0% financing on new compacts, for the life of the loan. Not sure about kabota and the others.

Was that a bare tractor? Prices are nuts out here and we do have the 0% loans and I have thought of that.

Out here the same package I am getting is 44k plus tax (3600) so pushing 50k with registration.

Dealers aren't budging on pricing. With the 2 big fires here they have you cornered.

The reg was a dealer thing. Now it is just a bill of sale.

The same tractor?

JR, norm makes a great point, what’s the cost outside of KA? Might be worth going to Vegas or even Phoenix? Have you looked? I know there’s a Kubota dealer in Tucson so I’d like to think Phoenix has one as well.

Could be worth the weekend to save a few thousand. I’d be willing to go look at something in Tucson for you if you wanted to go that far.

Mine was 29k total, with quick attach (plain) bucket, rear blade, and box scraper, and a 1000.00 Fiberglass roof.
Shuttle shift ..NH didn't have a hydro after 45hp, and I didn't want hydro.
Just for giggles I'll give them a call, if you want.

I have searched lots of sights and spent hours on CL. Built a few on the sights.

Kubota is king around here and the BH is around another 5k easy.

Might be cool is there really is a big diff. A call can't hurt for sure.

Found a place sells containers in Reno, nice to not have to haul it over the hill if the price is right.

Looks like I found a newer one down south a little, for almost 10k less. Private sale, no tax. Its a L45 with backhoe.

More of a logistics game now. We all go up to see it next week and have a couple days in Reno.

JR, how about you price it at the Kubota store next to me, I'll act as your agent, and ship it to you.
Prices out there are stupid. Can beat those by thousands, easy. then what $1500 for shipping???
Interested?

Interested yes, but not sure if I want a 45k loan right now. Between you and TRN it might be fun. Shipping could be the killer.

If I get new, it is about 45k, less tax. Via any dealer, they charge sales tax per the state it goes too. 8.25 both here and NV.

Dealer hear said no tax if I show a bill of lading out of state.

I am having a heck of a time finding storage for the trailer! Everyone is full or overpriced.

Trailer specs, 14k GVW/10k load. 22ft deck (28ft overall), led lighting, tilt bed, spare, slide rail with D rings on the sides (some are on top) and 5 year reg (one ca got right). 


Going to look at the tractor tomorrow, about a 3-4hr drive one way. 2012 Kubota L45, 45hp, HST and about the same price I see listed for back east.

Been checking prices and think I am really good here, plus a private sale.

Talked with the dealer up in Reno about about value (will be my local dealer). They said it was a little high until I mentioned the backhoe. With that the value is good.

So with driving a little, I may get a better tractor, newer and it has a better backhoe. Almost 10k less  :cool:

Dang, was half tempted to offer you a fair deal on my NH... give me a reason to upgrade since I went to all the trouble of putting a backhoe on it, that I no longer need. : shakingmyhead.

That sure is a sweet looking trailer.

Not planned to be real soon, although I am ready. It will be a 2-3 years plan at least unless I am pushed harder by Ca. Kids still in school, several years on that.

Nice little tractor Ken. I could have gone smaller I guess but I have a lot of work to do there.

If I get this one today it does have the quick release bucket and I would like forks. Auger and scraper first though. Got some shade on this puppy too, can you say LED lights.

JR, the school thing, Unless your kids are in the upper years of high school they will make many new friends and most likely the new friends will be from families more aligned with yours. It also is not so far away, the existing friends could stay in touch. Have you ask them about their feelings.

My wife tried to postpone our happiness because this notion of “ kids in school” anyone on this forum still associate with Jr high or even high school folks?

I talk to three and it wouldn’t matter the school we went to.   

Dave Ramsey talks about it and suggest make your plans kids adjust

In the town/city we were in the unemployment rate was climbing year after year, this crime, drugs, poverty, business closing, no knew developing business. With the only exception being new homes for commuter parents who liked the 20 min drive to slc.   
All those things take a cost on the pocket book.

We justified the move after my 18 yr graduated.  But the younger boy didn’t have a choice.   Now we have a nice neighborhood. Good neighbors, top notch schools, more access to the creature comforts.   Momma does trade that all for a longer drive to work but it’s worth it.

Yep, there is a little lipstick on it, but sound. Starts easy, no blue smoke and it is setup for a thumb.

In traffic in San Jose and a HD just bounced off the front left. Just a rub on the tire after stopping (he didn't), think he is much worse.

A Harley hit me splitting traffic. I was in the #2 and it was all backed up near the Sunol Grade. 2 HD came by and it was tight with const in the area.

Second bike goes by and I hear a wack, bang and he skidding sideways, almost lost it. Of course they did not stop, but I pulled over the check for damage.

All I saw was a rub on my left front tire. I think his saddleback hit the step and he turned in and bounced off the tire.   :facepalm:

I really have to get my HD bumper on there!

The trailer pulled great. Got 17.8 mpg going down, but fought the wind and traffic on the way home. Still got 15mpg, it felt heavy and you could feel the wind. Lower gears will help.

Anyway, the Kubota was listed for 27.5k. After I drove it around, tested what I could and was satisfied I asked his price (told him there was a lot of lipstick on it) But all the pins where tight, no oil leaks, good hoses (I did find a little seal leak on the right front knuckle when I got home.

He goes, 26.5, I say 24, he says 25.5, then goes heck, make it 25 (my target price and what was in my pocket) and it was done. 10 min to load and off I go.
