Hello Everyone,
I am new to this site.
I currently own a Simplicity Legacy 25hp 2wd Garden Tractor which is approx 10 years old and has treated me well all these years with no issues. I am possibly looking to move up to a kubota BX series with a FEL and 60" MMM.
Glad to be here and looking to learn more.
Found what I think is a worthy purchase and was interested in some feedback.
Was looking to upgrade my current situation and have been shopping JD 1025R, MF GC1705 and the Kubota 2370 all with FEL and MMM in my local area. Current status is JD 1025R is to much $$$$ $19k+ and no trade in, the MF GC1705 is a nice unit and they will take a trade in with 0% finance at $14k or $12.8k cash deal. (Do not like the plastic on either the JD or MF) While at my local Kubota dealer and getting quotes for a new BX2370 with FEL and 60" MMM that would need to be ordered. I saw a BX2670 with FEL & 60" MMM in the yard. A match for I am interested in. To make a long story short, I asked about the BX2670 because I thought this unit was new. It turns out the unit is a rental with only 1.4 hrs of service on it. After some back and forth and my interest in a cash deal. I was was offered the following; My Simplicity and $12.4k in cash. This caught my attention. The only twist is there is only 4 months left on manufactures warranty. I believe that Kubota gives a 2 year or 1500 hour manufactures warranty. So if my math is right this BX2670 has been in their yard for over 18 months and never rented. This dealer has 3 or 4 others BX series rentals and when you look at them you can tell they are rentals because they look used. This BX2670 looks new not a scratch on bucket and no grass under the mower. Looks like it has never been used.
I have some heavy work pending, 25 yds of mulch to disperse around my property, mowing is needed (2 acres) and the moving of a bunch of trees that were taken down and cut up to a location in the yard for removal.
Asked to rent the unit for a long weekend to put the unit through its paces.
Dealer agreed and offered that the rental cost could go against purchase price if I decided to buy the unit.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
