Foothills tractor about a Mahindra EMax 22 Ag-Pro about a John Deere 1023E Fouts Tractor about Kubota BX23S Branson about a 2400 Some dealership in Atlanta about a Yanmar
So far, apples to apples, the best deal on a small tractor locally is a John Deere 1023 for $12,500 with 60 month bumper to bumper warranty and 60 month 0% financing. The next best deal seams to be the Mahindra eMax 22 from Foothills for $13,500 with 60 months bumper to bumper and 60 month 0% financing. The Mahindra is all steel and is quite a bit heavier than the John Deere and if you add the excavator to both tractors, then the Mahindra is the better deal at $18,000 vs $22,000 for the John Deere.
Did you talk to Snead in Centre? We (my company) do quite a bit of business with them, and they are always competitive on what we buy.
According to their website the BX23 starts at $14,975. with an FEL and belly mower.
