Kubota announces price increase

[FatTire]

Heads up, there is 2 to 3% bump coming due to steel prices. That could be $500 to $1500 on a new machine.

I suddenly have much less buyers remorse.

The extra 1000 on the 3560 would have made the decision much harder.

I signed on a L6060 yesterday just to beat the increase.....

Well guess I'm keeping mine again for now. Between the horrible exchange rate and now this, I don't like throwing money away.

Price here for a Grand L 3560 cab with loader and a rear snow blower were already $50,000.

It was matter of time.

I'm confused, does Kubota source US steel and ship it back to Japan for processing and then ship the tractor back?

Make a trip south with the B and come back with a L?

it will be several months before this filters into retail prices, its also not on all models.

Obviously NOT !

That is certainly an idea, but I doubt that Canadian customs would be fooled by that.
