Uh, Neil, you should ask Santa for a new watch. Your 3 minute Thursday took over 7 minutes. :)

I saved at least $4000 on a L2501 by going out of state. No sales tax and a 16 foot trailer included =$4000. I say at least because they also gave me a deal on rear remote,snowblower and box blade. I spoke with my local dealer in NY and he didn't want to give a inch so I went elsewhere.

Neil, that's an L2501 I hope there's a bigger difference in price! I know it's just the same size tractor! LOL!

Parts sales and service are the reason I bought a b2650 not to mention it’s an excellent tractor.

Great discussion, Neill! I've always felt that it keeps things simpler if someone sells their used equipment privately and just walks in the door with the cash.

I just saved $24,000 on a Kubota tractor....;). I didn't buy one LOL.

Quality Dealer Support has a value that needs to be considered. Will you get parts in one day or one month.....Time is MONEY!

Its the sales mans job to sell someone their first tractor after that its up to the parts and service dept to sell ya the next

Neil -- I'm frequently amazed by how people think. On a woodworking forum, someone recently asked for buying advice on a particular size of a type of machine. Some recommended a premium machine from an American manufacterer. Others suggested a mid-range machine that's made in Taiwan. And still others, recommended a hobbiest grade machine that's made in China. Then, someone chimed in with the 'fact' the preimum machine didn't do anything that the hobbiest grade machine couldn't do. Therefore, the premium machine was vastly over priced. He wanted to support American workers, but he wasn't willing to pay more for a machine than it was worth. Value, to him, was measured by the machine's capacity. He wanted to buy the American machine, but not if it cost more than Chinese machine that had the same capacity. In rebuttal, it was pointed out that a Porsche 911 costs a lot more than does a Ford Fusion. Yet, the 911 carries fewer people and gets worse gas mileage. Obviously, capacity is one of the factors that determines a machine's value, but it's not the only factor. Often, it's not the most important factor. In the case of woodworking machines, this guy only considered capacity. I think that was because it was all he understood. The quality of the tool, its ease of use, extra safety features, were all irrelevant to him because he didn't know how to evaluate them. He looked at what he could understand -- so a table saw with a 10" blade shouldn't cost more than another table saw with the same sized blade. Makes as much sense as saying all 40 hp tractors should cost the same.

Good info. Thanks Neil

Great, informative vid, as always. Thanks Neil

4:15 Come on Neil, Can we get some new shingles on the store there? 😎😎😎 Keep up the good videos by the way. To bad I am so far away in Texas, love the videos.

I think the 3901 is on the other side. Ha! Good video Neil - thanks.

Good Video Neil. Telling it straight !

Great video Neil. I see this all the time as well. I like to sum it up as "you get what you pay for". $14,000 less typically means you're making some pretty significant sacrifices and should set off some warning flags signaling a deeper review is needed. It's likely the customer is not making an apple to apples comparison. Either choice could be good for them, but only once they understand the differences. 👍

Hell that Air Conditioned Cab is worth $14,000...! You get everything else FREE...!

Great video as always, love the channel.

I saved about $10,000 on a L4701 a couple of years ago. I bought a used one w/ only about 7 hr. My dealer is one of the largest John Deere dealers in the country for lawn tractors. Every couple of years JD will purchase a few new Kubota tractors from them for training their dealers. After the demo with the dealers JD sells the Kubotas back to my dealer as a used tractor, and I bought one of them. So there are some real ways to save big on new tractors.

Am I the only one who noticed that his L3901 is actually a L2501?

I love all the content you guys post

Service Dept. location is also of critical importance. Unless you own the rollback or trailer capable of transporting the tractor yourself, it can cost serious dollars for either mobile dealer service or dealer pick-up and delivery at any distance. Often it can be both as a service call puts the tech on site to condemn the machine to transport to the shop. Especially on engine issues - not so much so on tranny and other drive-line issues. sdh in CT

Neil, I’m looking to buy my first new piece of equipment and was wondering what the culture with negotiating with dealerships is? Is it similar to car dealerships where you never pay sticker price, or are the quoted prices generally the actual best price the dealer can offer?

That L4060 is a sweet looking tractor! (And I’m very happy to own one, but it’s not quite as pretty with the loader on!!)

I recently bought a kubota 5660. I also priced a john deere 5055e. I was shocked at how close in price the two were! Deere and kubota ended up being within 100$ on a 36000$ deal. I liked both tractors but went with kubota mainly because I liked the dealer better.

When I buy a kubota... it’s going to be from a package deal far away

Good video Neil!! Sales gets a customer in the door, service/parts keeps them coming back. I know you bleed orange, but in my case I have a great dealer network in my area for JD, our local Kabota dealer is horrid, that's why I have a JD. I looked at NH, Kabota, JD and Massey back when I bought my first tractor, the dealer is what sold me on the JD.

Neil I think you looked good leaning on both the orange and green tractors ....

Nice video do you sell the John Deere's on your selves or move them on to the trade Thank's

Where your locatiaon

But technically the L3901 isn’t a 39hp tractor. It’s a 37.5hp tractor. That’s not a big difference but still.

I wanted a BX which is hard to find used and I was also worried if it was stolen or still had money owed on it so I bought a new one ( no money down and “0” interest) yea I’ll take that one!! LOL

well no matter how you put it, those compact tractors are not cheap.no matter what brand you buy, and i like when he said most people, make it as a fun purchase. i've seen people have a 20,000 dollar plus tractor, and only have a half acre of grass to mow.

Can pricing vary by dealer based on their sales volume? Specifically I’m looking to purchase a mini excavator with cab in the spring. Have a 30 acre parcel with a remote camp with a lot of work to do. Have a B2601 with a loader already, excavator is next on the list of must have tools

I saved over $40,000 I was looking for a 50-60 hp tractor to run a silo blower and run a small mixer grinder. Kubota was between 45-50 thousand for the horsepower we were looking for John Deere was 50-60 for what we needed. We never looked at Mahindra cause we have a sub compact Mahindra and we hate its quality. We ended up buying a 1466 International with 3000 hrs for $6800 from our neighbor who is retiring, we got 3 times the tractor for less than a quarter of the price of the new plastic and wire toys.

L3901 I saved the $14,000 no regrets.

Traded my old Simplicity Legacy XL, regretted it ever since...

Can you do a video on the Kx 080 Super Series 2 and the differences in it and the earlier versions of that excavator?

Well the big thing for me was, I wanted a brand new compact tractor with a factory cab... And it was either going to be John Deere or Kubota And holy sh*t, the price difference between the brands on the smallest tractor with a factory cab, its insane... its crazy

Neil, How bout a review on Kubota RTV'S 2021 1100c , & sidekick

Do you charge extra for the duct tape on the JD hood?

Quick question Neil, I’m doing some background research for a machine and one of the primary usage would be for hauling. What’s the hauling weight limit for the LX and L series tractors? @Messick’s Equipment

What's the sticker on the cab Tractor ??

I bet the 6 dislikes people favorite color is green.

Will you be getting any new Krone balers in before next year.

I saved over $8000 on my tractor by buying it from an out of state dealer. The local dealer was a total jerk and stuck on the MSRP sticker plus freight plus dealer set up plus sales tax plus plus plus......

Seems to me the numbers fall apart on the low volume brands though, you can get more features, a supossedly better warranty, and supposedly better specifications on most things for 25 to 30% less than the name brands. The question is can you get parts, is it reliable, and is there a dealer to support it around. So you may pay the difference anyway over time.

What horse power do I need to run a tiller that goes on the three point hitch. I have 234 hydro-static international compact tractor it's 18hp. Can it run a 4 foot tiller?

L3901???? L2501????? My head is going crazy.

Why is there so many Kabota tractors for sale? Most of them look brand new. Are they worth the money?

Are those racing stripes or Gorilla tape on the hood of that Deere ;)

I’ll pay a little more for the dealer and manufacturer support.

i save 50,000$ buying a 40y old 50hp tractor.

It's the workshop that breaks the bank. Don't believe that a mechanic shop is the reason to buy.

The real Truth is all this "electronic power shift transmission" and electronic this and that, really ads no value to the tractor in the used market. In most cases the non-electronic counterparts are actually more expensive to produce. Think about how much more some of this electronic crap costs. Yeah.......... it takes a lot of computing power to shift a transmission. (im kidding). A timex watch could do it. The real truth is the manufactures make more money and its much.... much cheaper to produce. A cable, a shift lever, hooked to a series of valves will take decades to fail. A switch hooked to a computer that tells a relay to activate an electronic solenoid, will fail within a decade and be hard to diagnose. There is a reason tractors from the 80s and 90s are bringing top dollar.

I just got robbed 20 Grand from a website that sells tractors that got hijacked

Has Neil is own KZfaq channel?

You didn’t have a real L3901 or what?

FAIL. "Beside me here is an L3901..." Hood emblem shows L2501.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5aKq9J3x9qmo4U.html the deere hood is held together with what looks like gorilla or gaffer's tape. Was it one of those plastic hoods?

I tell people that all the time. I own 2 Kioti machines. Good tractors, but not loaded with frills.

L2501 Nice try...

#1

Like how he puts a John Deere up for the main picture but never talk or showed a Deere. Switch and bait... 🤡
