I ended up not buying the T4.90 that was in Madison. It was an extremely nice tractor. It did not have a loader, and with the price to add a loader and the price they were asking just did not line up. I would have had 56K in the tractor, which brought it up to the pricing of a 110HP with a factory loader. The other tractors in this size range have been selling in the mid 40s, the ones that are priced above that are sitting. This tractor had a 24 speed, which in my view kicks in another 2-3K.
The NH come with the 6?6TL loaders from the factory and it does just not appear feasible to add one of those models. From what I learned it is a bad idea to buy one of those without a factory loader, as it really makes them hard to sell. There are other T4.90's out there in the price range I want to pay, but they either have the 12 speed or the lighter 655 loader.
The folks there were very nice to work with, we just could not reach a deal.
I have 3 weeks to find one, or the push is off for this tax year.
