Hello,
I've been reading the forums now for a couple months, been out driving the SCUT's from John Deere and Kubota numerous times and have made my decision to go with the BX2360. I'm planning to make a purchase here soon and had a couple questions. I've been quoted $14,200 before tax for the tractor, loader, 60" mower and loaded tires. Does this seem in check, its right around 11% off Kubota's build price on the web. This also includes free delivery and free pickup/delivery during the warranty period for anything warranty related. I found this to be great peace of mind, and this dealer was the only to provide it. I've been debating adding a tiller into the mix, do the addition of implements help with negotiations? This will be my first tractor purchase so dealing with them is new to me.
For tillers, I've talked to one dealer and they pointed me towards the RTR0550, but after reading I have some concerns with it and rocks. I started tilling my garden this year with a walk behind tiller and I found a good many rocks. Most were what I'd consider small, ranging from golf ball to baseball size, but there were some larger ones as well. As I expand I'm sure I'll uncover more. Would the reverse tiller be bad if I'm kicking up tons of small rocks as well as softball to football sized rocks, or would the slip clutch keep everything safe? The fear is the next size up tiller, RTA10 series, is where you can get the forward tiller and I wasn't sure if that would be too heavy. At least with that I've read it would bounce and kick out most large rocks. With the reverse I'll keep clearing the rocks as they come, but I was just afraid I'd destroy it.
Any comments/suggestions will be appreciated. This forum has been a great resource thus far!
Thanks a lot
