Hi all
We had our "new" Kubota L4600 delivered by the dealer's delivery guy yesterday. He simply unloaded and drove off? He didn't ask us to sign anything and someone from the dealership is coming next week to give us a walk through of how the machine works.
When we started it up for the first time, I noted that it had 31 hours on it.
I suspect that the dealer has given us a demonstration model and not a brand new one. This was not discussed at the time of purchase and we have paid the full list price for the unit (OK, we didn't, but we purchased some implements and we negotiated a total price for al)l. However, at no time was any reduction discussed for us receiving an ex-demonstrator.
We have paid for remotes to be installed and for a front end loader. I cannot imagine for one minute that the installation of such items would have required the dealer to run the tractor for 30+ hours.
Am I correct and should I be refusing to accept a "used: tractor when I purchased a new one, or do I need to wind my neck and stop being such a baby?
As an aside, I have been getting to grips with the unit today and it has made clearing snow a piece of cake. Getting to grips with the FEL has been a steep learning curve, I just hope that my neighbours don't laugh to much if they are watching what I do!
