Summary
Waikato Tractors (a Massey Ferguson NZ dealer) lists recommended retail prices for the Massey Ferguson compact-tractor range, each quoted with a front-end loader and 4-in-1 bucket. These are the verified NZ diesel-baseline capital costs for the machinery a small mixed-farm community needs (arable, pasture, livestock handling), retrieved to firm the farm-machinery CapEx gap. Prices are ex-GST promotional RRP, so they are a sound national order-of-magnitude baseline rather than a fixed figure.
Key claims
- claim: "NZ COMPACT-TRACTOR DIESEL-BASELINE CAPITAL (Massey Ferguson RRP, ex-GST, each incl. front-end loader + 4-in-1 bucket): MF 1GC.23 (23 HP) from $25,700; MF 1835 E (35 HP) from $39,700; MF 2850 E (49 HP) from $51,150. [verified against the raw: 25,700 / 39,700 / 51,150 and 'excl. GST' confirmed by text extraction]"
source_location: "Waikato Tractors 'MF Compact' promotion page (per-model RRP table)."Model use
- Diesel baseline for
farm_machineryCapEx (RT_401): a community compact tractor + loader lands about25,700 (23 HP) to51,150 (49 HP) ex-GST by power class URL_039. Implements beyond the loader (mower, tiller, seed drill, trailer) add roughly $5,000-20,000, not in this figure. - Pairs with the electric sensitivity on URL_036 (Monarch MK-V ~USD 88,999, ~3x the diesel compact tractor). Modeling chooses per-ha vs lump and diesel-vs-electric.
