Interesting take on the timing.

I'll also have to look into the Equine programs as we have a horse and my wife belongs to the USEF and USDF.....of course they have partnerships with JD not Kubota unfortunately.

I signed up for the free 1 year membership for the national cutting horse association. if you haven't been a member for 3 years its free for the first year. pretty much all the horse associations qualify. I found a list on facebook that a kubota dealer posted.. here are the associations they listed:
NCHA (national cutting horse association)
AQHA (American quarter horse association)
USEF (US equestrian Association)
AHC (American Horse Council)
APHC (Appaloosa Horse Club)
TWHBEA (Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders and exhibitors association)

the only free one is the National cutting horse association. others start as low as 25.00 . the NCH is a non competing membership but still qualifies for the kubota incentive.

good luck!

If you need the machine to make money then you are losing money by not having it.

Trying to time the market is a gamblers fallacy. If you need zero percent financing and it's not available now you can wait for the next round.

Well this is good news......we have been members of USEF for years.....about time the horse started paying US back a little.....(of course my wife would put me in the stall if she saw this).

Crap......so that isn't something Kubota runs every year for the equine orgs? I believe the "Green" company has their partnerships year after year.......and no I don't want a Green Machine.......

Having just received my quote today including the Equine discount benefit, I can tell you that by the time the dealer adds back freight and prep, which are normally not included in quotes, the effective out the door discount is much less than 20%. The price I was given with the Equine discount was about $800 different that what the dealer first offered outside the Equine program. Still $800 is still real money.

Does one have to (currently) own a horse, in order to legitimately qualify for the 20% discount? What if you ride the horses the farmer boards across the road? Funnily enough, our hay is hayed by that neighbor, in part for his horses.

I seriously doubt that there is a "National Cutting Horse Assn." inspector, who will visit, to verify that you actually own a horse.

Thank you for your prompt response. I, too, share your doubt about "...a National Cutting Horse Assn." inspector, who will visit...." I was only concerned about the local Kubota dealer, who might wonder why our 15+ acres of hay field are on our side of the road, and the farmer's horses (and the other horses he boards for riding on his trails) are on the other side of the road....

I would suggest not volunteering any more information than necessary.
I seriously doubt that your Kubota dealer is going to drive to the local courthouse to ascertain who holds the deed to which property.
