OK, I understand the 15 part since I've bought 15 Kubotas from Barlows in 9 years:laughing: but I started with one BX2200 FEL MMM. That's the usual way for most of us. Start with one, that first one and then go on from there!!!!!:drink: GET UP, GET OUT, GO DRIVE EM, SIGN A CONTRACT!!!!!!!:thumbsup:

All states that have a sales tax also have what's called a use tax. Difference is a sales tax is applied and collected by the seller while a use tax is paid after the fact directly to the state by the buyer. You're suppose to pay one or the other on any taxable transaction. Since your state GA, for example, has no authority to force Barlows to collect and remit the GA sales tax to them, you are suppose to voluntarily declare and pay the use tax if/when you bring the tractor back to GA for use there (permanently). Most states have a line on their state income tax return where you declare and pay the use tax (well at least here in CT). Let's just say compliance with this use tax is pretty low. But, it is a risk you take not declaring and paying the use tax. Of course with anything you have to register, like a car or boat, for example, they get you at the time of registration. Most states don't require registration of tractors, but they might require filing of documents if you buy the tractor with a loan. Kubota credit, or other creditor, would want some record of the debt should they have to collect. That said, I've never heard of a state using those doc's to cross-check use tax compliance.
Now go buy that tractor, in state or out.
I think you will be better of with a BX than a Zero turn. You can do so much more with the BX. My BX has over 3 times the hours on it than what I put on the previous Cub Cadet garden tractor. I think a BX will also have a better resale value.

That's what I've decided to do- I'm going with the BX2370. My (supportive) wife is on board. I talked to my dealer today- he is working on getting one in for me- hopefully within the week. I think it will be very versatile and handy. More details to come soon hopefully....
Cool, I think you will like it. Did you get the QA for the loader?

No- thought about it but would have only used it if I were buying forks for it...QA, forks and frame for the forks were another $1,270 which seemed high
to me for nominal gain. (I have forks/bale spear on the 4240). Wound up at $12,500 for tractor with FEL and 60" MMM after trading my JD X320 plus tax
and KTAC insurance. $14,200 total out the door at 0/60. Feel like that was a good deal.....left the dealer at 6:30pm so should finalize tomorrow...

There is no way I would pay $1270 for the QA and forks. I had no idea it would be that high
Yep. QA $279, pallet fork frame $636, 32" pallet forks $338
only other add on is a blade... wasn't close to worth it.
