First, anytime you use the word "best", you're being dishonest. So why ask for something that simply MUST be dishonest? Pet peeve of mine but to me it sets the conversation in a bad direction.
There are many manufacturing rules in equipment when it comes to advertising prices, that's why online you see many bundle packages. But you can piece through a few of those and get a good idea where things fall pretty quickly. I know Kubota won't let you show a tractor discount by itself, but it really isn't hard to compare a few bundles and put it together and be in the ball park. All this being said, I personally don't care if someone makes a little money off me so long as it's a fair deal. I enjoy being loyal to my local sales folks. It is a two way street.
I'm going to be getting a wood chipper from my local dealer. I found the same model at a dealer about 2 hours away that sorta specialized in shipping them out. It was $500 less, and I'd have to drive 2 hours. , but on $3500 bucks, thats a big percentage. Still I provided this info to the local dealer and got the reasonable difference that theirs was assembled and ready to go, vs a crated up box. For me, there isn't $500 of value in having it put together. But it is 4 hours of driving and probably 2 hours of putting it together. I generally consider my time to be worth $20 for making decisions, so that is $160 there. I know their techs get paid more than $20 too though. Still it shows where I need to be to purchase local I'd I'll try to do, if they won't budge then I'll make the drive. The farther away guy seems in line with near the best on the web for pricing so I feel it's a fair price.
Since my real knowledge is with road vehicles, I'll again say that you really really gotta be careful shopping across state lines. Leftover deals can be had, but if it's not an old unit and it's thousands less, there is probably some interesting pricing laws or fees at play. Get a signed buyers order before making the drive, and ask a trusted local dealer to look it over (or ask folks online in a forum).

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
