I needed some AC parts for my Kubota L5030, looked around on the net, found tractorjoe.com, checked their prices versus local dealer.
Price difference was just too great to go with Kubota local dealer, which I had planned to drive to if the difference was acceptable...but parts were not in stock at dealer so would be a shipping wait anyway.
expansion valve, $26 vs $114:confused2:
receiver/dryer, $42 vs $162:confused2:
actually, they may not be the only net site with such parts, just the only one I found, after extensive search, which had a well designed web page allowing me to drill down for the specific parts which I needed, complete with price.
Their parts inventory seems quite large, covering implements and numerous tractor makes.
I was able to communicate with them both by phone and email....order is placed, hope to get it soon. Will let you know how it goes.
Just FYI....the only dog I have in this fight is this one single order.
