In Australia a 4 in 1 front end loader is almost standard equipment on all sub compact to utility tractors sold with a loader. So they are plumbed with a third function at the front. Not many are sold with a standard bucket. I think we can thank the cheap Chinese tractors for this. Cheap Chinese tractors hit Australia & they all had 4 in 1 loaders. So brands like Kubota had to follow suit. In regards to two sets of hydraulic remotes at the back, fewer tractors have it. Mine does but I had to get the optional second set when I bought the tractor. I kind of think I should have got a third set of remotes.

Grew up farming on a large Dairy farm and farmed until 42, never had 3rd function. Now have worked in dealerships 12 years, so I have sold many 3rd function machines.... Many people do not need or want it, especially for the cost it takes to have it.

The group deals is true. A local shop had one and the trailer weight rating was lower than the weight of the tractor combo!

Neil I believe this was a good video for EVERYBODY. The one wish I have is that all salesmen would tell you the truth. I totally agree that a strong service department on anything is worth the extra cost. Customer service in this country needs to strongly improve including talk with a knowledgeable person versus a voice message recorder.

"All eguipment is good" The "owners honesty" at 5:33 is a thing, not only with tractors.

As usual, another great and informative video... THANKS Neil. And as usual again, your comments about dealership integrity is spot on correct. Before buying a new tractor, I visited two John Deere dealerships and was amazed at my reception! More bluntly, shocked at how little attention I received when I walked through the front door! After getting the same "cold shoulder" from another Deere dealership, I simply drove across the highway to the local Kubota dealership where I was greeted on the parking lot with a big smile and "Can I help you find something?" It was there at Paris Farm & Ranch Kubota (Paris, Texas), that I bought my Kubota L4060 LE, with a variety of recommended attachments with zero % financing and reasonable monthly payments! And the salesman, Corey Gray, remains my "go to person" anytime a need arises! Yes brand and dealership is at least 90% of the deal!!! By the way, prior to the purchase, I was able to get some very helpful advice from Messick's also... you helped me chose the 4060 over the L3901 that I was considering, because of the advantages of the loader lift capacity and PTO power of the 4060. Thanks! D. Foote (Hurst, TX).

You're right about buying used vs new. I was going to upgrade from my M6040 to an M5-111 and rather than trade in my old tractor I was trying to sell it outright. I had it sold to about 3 different people until they went to the bank and figured out they could buy a brand new M6060 for a lower payment than buying my used tractor. The finance term was longer on the new tractor and it was at 0 interest so it made more sense to pay $350 a month for 5 years instead $450 a month for 3. PS i just made those numbers up to illistrate the point I didn't actually do any math.

Keep up the KZread for great and educational I am a old guy that's been on a trailer all my life but I still learn from you thank you Neil

As a recent customer, purchasing a brand new Kubota tractor as well as multiple implements, these people put their money where their mouth is! I cannot recommend them enough, and that is after comparing my service and sales experience with them to others in the past. There is nothing like Messicks!👍💪

Wow! One of the best yet! Thanks.

If I were buying a used tractor and the seller had kept a maintenance log, I'd know the machine was well cared for. Last year I traded in my B3300 SU for an L3560. The dealership knew I kept good care of my trade in because A) I kept a log, and B) I bought all OEM filters etc from them. Also, when I bought my B3300 SU from them 10 years ago, I had a long talk with the service department guys. I asked them what a tractor owner could do to cut down on service work. One guy said, "Get religious about the preventive maintenance; lube your loader, etc, blow dust, etc off your radiator and engine filters, keep dirt and water out of your fuel, and change oil and filters at the recomended intervals.

Agree. I once went to look at an older used tractor that had a lot of hours on it. I was giving it the once over, checking fluids, etc. but I couldn't find the dipstick for the transmission. I asked the owner where the dipstick was located and he said he didn't know. I said thank you very much but I don't think this machine is quite what I'm looking for and left. :-)

I think you also get better value for money on used implements. A lot of people buy an implement, don’t use it much, and either sell it or trade in. I got a disk last year for about 40% off, and it still had paint on the disks. I don’t think it had been used for a full hour. Look hard and you can get good value.

Nicely done video again, Neil. The beat "package deal" is a great dealer who'll understand what you're going to really be doing with the machine first, then recommends specific tractor accessories and implements and sticks to those recommendations even if they know those items will take a while to come in, in today's environment. There's nothing like a solid dealer recommendation that matches the work to keep you coming back for more in the future when the work changes.

Neil great video as always! I’m subscribed and always looking to learn something new. I’ve watched most of your videos over the last five plus years. I’m also in that category of first time tractor owners trying to help folks out and share some of the lessons learned. I can see being biased by owning a certain brand, but I’m humble enough to know there are some trade offs that I personally made compared to what other brands offer. Dealers really are what make the difference. Great points throughout the video. Brand longevity is another point in the category of “not all brands are equal/good”…Cabella’s had some nice rebadged tractors a couple years back…Cub Cadet had some nice looking tractors…but you don’t see those anymore except in the classified ads. I also see those “tractor packages” and concur with the trailer example. That was a nice SVL-75 you were talking through emissions on in the video. Overall another great video!

I wanted to get a flail mower as well when I brought my tractor but it happened to add just enough to push my tractor to the next bracket and increase the interest rate offered by the bank on my purchase price.sometimes a smaller purchase price can be accepted by smaller banks with a better interest rate than the big ones at least it was in my experience

Thanks, Neil - that is good information

Neil, I found by experience my 1st Kubota tractor 🚜 was a manual shift with a loader. Big mistake traded in on a B1750HST then years later traded it in on a grand L 3030 HST one week later traded in on an L3830. A week later I purchased my b1750 hst back from the dealer. Two things that are very important HP is extremely important in my application wish I would have bought the L4630 with the 823 loaded. Horse power does matter. Two machines work perfectly for me👍😊

As far as implements go... your better off renting some stuff than ever buying it. Like a post-hole auger. I own one, with 2 bits. We used it solidly for almost a week, and maybe twice since. Renting it for a week for $150 vs spending $900 on it with a 7 inch and 12inch bit was unnecessary. Another item is a brush mower. I use mine constantly, but I have friends that spent $2,000 on a brush mower that they mow an acre or 5 with once a year for a couple hours. One can be rented for $100 a day during the week and $225 for Friday-Sunday.

Good and informative video!

BEEH Fedex, I agree! LOL Many good topics covered, great advice too. The one about new vs used is the #1 at today's market rates. A used L4060 HSTC is nearly the price of a new L4060 HSTC, and if lucky can find one less than 5 years old. If older than that, interest rates go up. So lets say you find one, $38,000, and a new one, $42,000. The difference in cost is $5,000. A 60 month loan on 38,000 comes out to $5,026 in interest. SO not only does that 5 YO tractor cost $26 more, it also did not have a warranty, it was someone elses machine before you and no idea how it was treated. Kubota has a 0 down, 0% for 84 month plan right now, so not only do you save on interest, you can finance the entire amount, at a lower monthly payment instead of 10-20% down on the used. Seems like a WIn/WIn. One other thing mentioned was options at time of purchase. Yes and No. I can see not loading up every option, but some options, especially on cab models, like the remote outlets in the rear, if you need one, get all 3. Why? Labor costs is the same whether it is one set of ports, or all three sets of ports. So if you get one set now, and down the road realize hey should have got two, it costs you the same amount of labor to install that second port as it did the first port. If you plan to install it all yourself, then buy the options afterwards, it appears the parts cost the same as when optioned at build out.

love your videos

Certainly you may be limited on the deals that you'll be able to make on up-market used machines with limited age and wear, but i think something that's always worth considering when buying machinery is whether or not you'll be doing just as well with an older used machine. Plenty of machines from 20-30 years ago are still perfectly usable today and still have a lot of life left in them. Many of them are after all built to last. Of course they will be missing a lot of modern comfort features and they will be in used condition with all the things which that implies, but at the same time they will often be available at a fraction of the cost of a new machine. If you're a homeowner who won't be using your machine constantly for your living, then a lot of these older machines can make a lot of sense for you and allow you to save a lot of money while still being able to do what you need to do. Buying old machines may even be advantageous in the sense that all their faults and flaws are usually well-known and documented, allowing you to check what to look out for and what models to avoid before making a purchase. Can't really do that with a new machine. So that would be my recommendation. Before buying a brand new machine, check what older machines are available in your area, and make sure that you can't get a better deal on what you need by buying one of those.

As much as i like to believe that there are salesmen who truly have the customer's best interests in mind, what you said is the absolute truth. While most may not outright lie to you since that's an obvious bad business stratedgy in the long run, i think a lot of salespeople tell half-truths and dress things up to present them as more attractive than they really are. They straddle that very thin line between what the customer needs and what the dealership wants to sell. Some do a better job than others. At the end of the day you have to look out for your own interests and do your own research if you don't want to get burned. Ain't nobody going to look out for you if you don't look out for yourself.

Let's be honest- manufacturers and dealers don't like cash because they make MORE money if the customer finances the equipment. Whether you finance or buy cash, the dealer still gets their money either way. But if you finance, they might get an extra commission from the bank/finance company for selling the loan, and the bank/finance company gets the interest on the loan. With that in mind, why would dealers or manufacturers be incentivized to give you a cash discount and make even LESS money on a cash sale? They wouldn't, so it's silly when someone walks into a dealership and thinks they're going to be treated special just because they want to pay cash. The only time cash was king is when dealers held the customer loans themselves, or when unscrupulous dealers wanted to underreport sales.

I've been looking at used tractors for years, and yeah, I think a new one would be far better. I'm trying to avoid financing stuff, but sometimes it's the easier route to take, especially with a 0% interest offer.

Used equipment for agriculture can be a trap when it has moving parts. As a buyer it is hard to see how the bearings, gaskets, gauges, hydro motors and valves are. You buy it and suddenly there is noise or an inbalance or what ever. And that is the moment you'll find out that parts for agricultural machines are very expensive and if a mechanic ought to touch it, it even will be much more expensive.

Your right, your dealer is wrong.

So many great points as always, but I can't really agree with your comments at 5:55 that individual homeowners, first time buyers, don't advocate in a healthy way. That is perhaps true sometimes, but it's also a pretty broad statement. There are a lot of new equipment owners who post videos showing both equipment shortcomings and operator errors. I don't see many dealer videos out there pointing out shortcomings of the products they stock and sell either. And that's ok imo because buyers can listening to a bunch of subjective/objective qualities about one brand and a bunch of subjective/objective qualities about another and piece that together to make their own personal decision. If I'm being honest with myself though, I can't imagine how a first time buyer would do this without also having the educational resources available that Messick's provides to this community.

Emissions. Any machine over 26HP has emissions. But pretty much all machines under 26HP do not. So I agree, if you're buying a bigger machine, that's true. But not true on a smaller machine. There's an argument that someone who's looking at a 26HP or a 30HP machine might be a bit better off with the cheaper/simpler machine, particularly if they're not putting a lot of hours on it and it'll need to last them 20 years.

@@MessicksEquip I agree they have to meet emissions requirements. But those requirements are somewhat more lax - so they generally can be met without specific additional treatments or filters. It's not that those filters are a problem in a machine that's used properly - if you run at target revs for the PTO all the time, you'll never see your emissions equipment at all. In that compact/subcompact range though, there are a lot of homeowner users. At that level, people can be in the habit of idling around a lot, and they also put very few hours on their machines. Emissions equipment doesn't really like being run cold, and doesn't really like sitting for months between use. So, looking at an L2501 for example, that's a quite large engine that's been tuned down, and if that's actually all the machine you need, it's a great price (fewer parts), and pretty simple to maintain. I wouldn't specifically go out to buy a machine without emissions, but if you're in that size bracket, and you're generally doing homeowner type tasks, it's worth looking at a L2501, LX2610, as compared to the next model up in that same range. And back to your original statement - I think it would be correct for a dealer to say "this machine has no emissions on it." Sure, it has to meet an emissions regulation, but in terms of common usage of words - no it has no extra filters, fluids or other "emissions equipment." So I think a dealer isn't lying if they said an L2501 had "no emissions on it".

These same corporations, and our government, do so at significantly increased risk. Individuals who are buying something like a compact tractor are buying into the credit mantra, and betting that everything will go well until they have it paid off. To paraphrase a great saying: A fool and his tractor are soon separated.

@@jasonbroom7147 Maybe so for most. I financed at 0% and have the cash to pay it off anytime I see fit, I rather use that money in the stock market and real estate where I get a return on my money vs a orange yard ornament when my Kubota is not in use. Real estate investors leverage borrowed money all the time and it works. Your way can work, but requires much larger capital to sustain.

Ok i have a myth for you that maybe you can try to explain. Im disabled, have heard that some companies don’t like and wont give you a loan on equipment, vehicles etc etc because of being on social security disability?? Since ive been on SSDI i have not purchased expensive items on credit, i know my credit score is 835. So with this myth being said, and my credit score is almost excellent, what would messicks say if i walked in the door and wanted to finance a kubota compact track loader?

They would sell you whatever you wanted as long as your debt ratio is reasonable I have a lifelong friend who is in the same situation and he has zero issues getting loans etc

Matt Canfield hey thats good to know, thank you for replying! Im getting ready to start shopping and well enough to come off disability and get back in the workforce. Another myth I’ve been hearing is grants for the disabled, getting government grants to start a small business, i think its scammers trying to rob the disabled thinking they get free money.

I was only joking but someday they will. Paypal,Visa,and MasterCard all accept it as payment now in the US. Elsalvador just made it legal currency for the entire country. It’s way bigger than most people are aware. And no,I don’t own any Bitcoin.

Is he a certified financial advisor? Maybe he should not be giving financial advice. I would never put my money in the stock market, its manipulated.
