This would be my fourth new Kubota tractor. I am very familiar with the local dealers and I do my own service on them unless it is a warranty repair. I am really just looking for the best price.

Contact Barlows and go from there.

Ditto on that.

I ended up going with a local dealer. I would have had to drive down there and get it to make it worth the savings and I don't know if the trailer I'd borrow would do that trip.

Maybe I should try Barlow's, too... I don't mind a little road trip - at all! :laughing:

My nephew lives in Anchorage and likes Road Trips, or did, he may have gotten tired of them by now. He may come with you and he also has a Dodge Diesel truck.

He also lives to fish. Had to even buy the boat to go way out to get em.

If you time for a road trip that's great but I didn't have the time so I visited 2 dealers in different state and contacted numerous others . the 2 I visited one was close to my home in Florida and the other was near my place in Ohio big price difference between those 2 .Then after looking at this website and seeing other discussions I called Steve Barlow that was the best decision I made.He beat the others hands down.

My kinda guy!! :thumbsup: Got a diesel and he ain't afraid to use it!

First halibut trip this past Friday. Caught 14 halibut, 1 Pacific cod, 1 Irish Lord. Kept the biggest 8 (limit for 4 ). Nothing very big - biggest about 35lb. Perfect eating size - IMO.

The information from my dealer is that the markup on the Kubota website is around 20% over the wholesale price. My dealer says he has to make 8% to break even. To survive and pay the bills may take that number to 10%. In the end, if you can get 10% off of the website price it is probably a good deal.

Shop several dealers. Barlow's gets rave reviews on TBN so, even if you are not in their geographical area, a look-see at their price should give you at least a starting point.

OK, I filled out the Online form on the Barlows website last week, still havent heard back from them. How long do they usually take? Maybe I should just call them.

Some thing must have gotten lost. I think they call back pretty quick. I'd just call em.
