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 - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
