When shopping, I verified with the dealer that the new updated model of Kubota backhoe attachment (BH92 is new, BH90 is current) was readily available. They did not have one in stock but he checked with Kubota before telling me this. So I signed the papers on the tractor, loader and the backhoe. All was in stock except the new model backhoe. I get a call yesterday from the dealer and he says when he tried to order it, Kubota told him that the new backhoe was available for those who pre-ordered but the rest of us will have to wait till May at the earliest. Who knows what that means, could be July before I see it. I don't blame this dealer, I trust he is telling me the truth and Kubota dropped the ball. I was really set on the new BH. It will finally let you attach either a mechanical or hydraulic thumb. So now my options are:
1) buy the setup, make payments on the whole thing including BH, use the tractor and FEL until the new model BH shows up
2) buy the tractor with the current model BH that I can't attach a thumb
3) or go beat my head on the wall.
The 0% financing forces me to pay for the tractor and all attachments even though I won't have the BH for months. Mind you the BH attachment is 1/3 of the tractor cost. The dealer can't give me any more break on the price because he lowered the price a lot already. This one sat on their lot for awhile and wanted to move it.
