Woah- remember, no politics or off-topic rants are welcome here... or has that changed since I last was a regular visitor? I was just gonna say, as the owner of three Kubotas, all bought used, over the last 20 years, I have really never had any need of a dealer other than buying filters and fluids, which is easy to do online. I simply have never had any issues that I couldn't address on my own, and I am no real mechanic. So maybe, with a tiny bit of luck, the dealer is irrelevant after delivery. You'd hope so, anyway. I know guys with Deere's and other brands who couldn't say that, though. And, of course, since I bought used, maybe initial problems were taken care of by the first owner??
