Default Re: Why won't the dealer let us "test" drive the fel??

When I was shopping for my SCUT a couple of months ago. The local MF, JD and Kubota dealer let me try them out use the front end loader and dig with the backhoe. The local bota dealer even offered to drive one to my house to try out.

I eventually bought a BX25 from another Kubota dealer 200 miles away. My stipulation was no scrathes on the hood, fenders or any other parts except the FEL and backhoe buckets (I waxed my tractor at the 50 hour and will wax it at every service interval, except for the buckets). I preferred 4-8 hours on it. I wanted it some what tested out. I didn't want to get a unit with 0 hours on it and have the tranny blow for some odd reason.

They delivered a unit with 4 hours and clean buckets. You get a few scrathes on the buckets when testing out a tractor for new purchase.

When it real seat time it's 'scraping paint off'.
