Anyone have Dealer Pricing Info?
 
Anyone have new pricing for CC tractors? I was wondering what the two models I have (1000, 1450) cost new.

This is the best I could do:

DWayne, When was that published? I'm assuming several years after they were new, say '80's?

I just went on Chevy's web site and built the 2014 equivalent of my dad's 1978 truck for fun. Basically it was a stripped-down work truck - the lowest priced options. It came out to $24,400. If garden tractors rose in price as fast a comparable model in price to my 1450 would be $12k. Ouch.

My dad bought a 108 brand new in 1974. IH had a promotion that if you bought the tractor they threw in the deck for $1. I always thought about that and wondered why they made this offer. I think they were clearing out the 1x8/9 series because the Quietline series was coming. He bought at the right time.

Another observation is the trade-in prices. Ouch. Your $2900 1650 got you $230 - $430 when you traded it in. Now I see why you guys hang on to these tractors so long.

I think it was published around 2003 or 2004 due to the fact I can get the MSRP prices all the way up to 2003 but only goes back to 1977.

That would explain the looooow trade-in values.

BTW why did the weight of a 1450 go down 105 pounds from 1977 to 1978? Now that I look at it they all went down. Why?

Someone may be able to correct me, but I think somewhere along the line some cast iron on the Cubs got changed over to aluminum. Possibly the axle tubes and maybe a couple of other things, such as the top nose piece on the hood. :bigthink:

The Cub Cadets lost weight hibernating over the winter....

At some point, IH did make the switch to some aluminum parts; the upper nose piece was one of them. I'm not sure what else was changed. :confused2.gif":confused2.gif"

I may be wrong but the first reference to aluminum tranny/axle housings was in 1983 The change from metal front and side panels to plastic was I believe was in 1990 with the intro of the cyclops series tractors.
