![]() ![]() Is there a site or can someone please help me make some sense of what these model numbers signify, and how it relates to age, size and so forth? Ok I understand the T series means Track but that's about it. Just my two cents.Gentlemen,Bobcat has the 600 series, then there is the 751, the 753, 763, 743, 753G, 753C, the 85x, 95x, S130,S170 models and many, many more. i would bet that ASV ends up making all of the machines SR machines with the new undercarriages, but in their same hp classes- 30, 50, 60, 70, 80, 100. The SR70 and SR80 fall between ASVs 60 and 100hp machines, and the SR undercarriages have metal face seals where the RC machines don't. I don't think that the RC and the SR machines compete against each other. The dealers could also be bringing down their inventories in case ASV comes out with improvements or new machines at their dealer meetingthat they are supposed to be having later this year. The dealer is then more motivated to sell that piece of equipment in order to prevent paying interest. When those terms expire, the dealer has to put them on his own financing, and that cost him x amount a month. I also think that the different prices could be that some dealers have had that machine for a longerperiod of time under the terms that ASV provides them with. ![]() a dealer needs to maintain a specific margin to support the machines he sells, operate his store (pay commissions, pay rent, etc.) It's no secret that some dealers can work with smaller margins (more efficient, carries multiple product lines, fewer employees, owns his buildings and property etc.), and others need larger margins. When I was a bobcat salesman I tried to maintain a specific margin, but there was a minimum margin that the salesmanager would drop to, and that was our "final offer" to the customer. One could be that different dealers are willing to "live on different margins". I think that there is probably a few reasons why dealers whould sell the same machine for different prices. ![]()
