Buying Advice Kubota volume dealers on east coast??

[HCJtractor]

I am thinking about upgrading from my M6800 to one a little bigger. Seems like I read somewhere about a dealer who has good prices and can ship a tractor. My local dealer leaves lots to be desired and I don't seem to get any benefit from having a relationship there anyway, so I don't have any loyalty to them. Unfortunately the Deere dealer isn't much better. I called them last month for a rough quote on a new clutch and spoke to the service manager who promised to gather some info and give me an estimate. Have not heard a word since. You would think in todays economy, a dealer would be bending over backwards to impress you with their service. If local businesses want local customers, it seems they need to offer an advantage of buying locally rather than having people like me shop online with price as the only basis. Has anyone bought a tractor from a volume dealer and had it shipped (and were happy)? If so where?

Unfortunately this is not an agricultural area and dealers are limited.

I bought from Barlows. Steve and Brady are great people. They will not push you at all. They are Honest and fair. :thumbsup:
I reside in NC, they shipped to my driveway no problem. I did have to pay a small delivery charge but honestly it was so small. I think I barley covered the price of fuel for them to get here.
Not only are Steve and Brady great but Marvin one of their drivers is a great fellow also. The Wife made cookies and ice tea for him the day the tractor arrived.

I know that if we end up needing a larger tractor in the future it will be Barlows.

If thats not enough to convince you ask JohnThomas here on the fourm. I think hes bought 14 units off of them over the years.

14!!!!! Are you nuts?? I've only bought 13 from them.:laughing::laughing: I'm in negotiations with them now for number 14 as soon as I sell my F2680E with 92 hours or they give me a guaranteed trade in figure for it.
They are great guys to work with. Steve is so non pushy that he's often times talking me out of buying an implement from him by telling me it won't do what I'm expecting it to do or tells me to use the implements I already own.
They also have hats with their tractors or did.

In the past I have seen TBNer's comment on their price being in the neighborhood of 12% or better below MSRP. I think it will vary among models though. So that is not a bad benchmark to start with, but your best bet is to contact them as Barlow's is known for quick their responses. :thumbsup:
