1025R vs BX2380

[Jack97]

lol. That just gives me one more reason to lean towards JD. Im going to try to get my current quote (17150.00) lower before I think about pulling the trigger. Judging on what i hear on these posts, these salesmen have a lot more wiggle room then they let on to believe.

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Just got back from my final SCUT shopping trip. Finally, decision made: (drum roll...) Went with the BX2380. Here's the rest of the story -

Today, I drove the LS MT125, and I must say, it is a robust unit! Had my previous price points not changed, that would have been my choice. But....

Called some new dealers, and found a couple VERY aggressive KB dealers offering big discounts. I scored a new 2017 BX2380 w/FEL for $12800 (b/f tax). That's within $200 of the LS. The KB was always my favorite, if I didn't consider price. However, it had previously been +$1600 to the LS, & +$1200 to the 1023E, & I didn't feel it was THAT much better. But now cheaper than the 1023E, and within $200 of the LS, yes, I feel it is the best *value* for me.

So, happy to be moving forward, hope to have in my garage soon!

Congratulations! That is a really good price. Make sure you post some pics when you get it.

So, I was told that I needed Flood insurance on my homeowner's as well as coverage outside of my property. I called State farm and they said we cover the tractor, on and off of your property. But they don't do flood insurance. I live about 2000 feet above sea level and there is no flood plain. Is the Kubota guy trying to railroad me? The tractor is a great deal, I really like the third implement with the grapple, but I hate predatory sales folks.

I actually live right on the line, southern York county pa. I went to Atlantic tractor and they were good folks, but if you think there is a cheaper direction I'm all ears. What part of pa do you live? I don't mind travel for a better deal

Thanks! Absolutely will. Hoping to get it by weekend, or early next week.

I also went to the atlantic tractor in whiteford. I think I'm going to try the atlantic in delaware to avoid the $1,076.00 in sales tax. there is one right in newark. not too far from us . The folks at JD said not to worry about insurance at all and that its totally covered under homeowners. That doesn't really give me a great feeling towards the kubota dealership.

 

[fran35]

Yep, that's where I went. The folks were super nice and the sales guy(Rick) was very knowledgeable and thorough. Have you looked into Kubota at all? Kubota was willing to give me all of the cash rebates, even with 0% financing at 84 months as long as I put 20% down. JD was willing to give 84 months at zero, but took away all of the rebates or reductions

Yes, I literally drove directly from hickory kubota to Atlantic. At kubota he offered me the same deal as you except he mentioned that scammy sounding insurance. Plus I was looking at the bx2380. Which isn't backhoe compatable. I went to Atlantic and talked to Bryan and he offered me the 84 months at 0% with 10% down. And he also gave me about 2k in discounts and whatnot. I'm still gonna try to take me quote to Delaware and see if they would give me the same deal but no tax

I tried the Kubota in hickory also, they were pretty high I went to Messicks in Abbottstown. They have a pretty good package for sale. They are way cheaper than hickory. Their pack age has me ready to go, but the insurance thing is not sitting right

For what it is worth, I bought insurance through the JD dealer and it was added to my package. The total cost of the insurance was $220 for the entire period I am making payments. If I pay it off in 3 years, the insurance is done. My plan is to take full advantage of the 0%. That is with a $250 deductible. My Kubota dealer said that Kubota Finance would accept my homeowners insurance if I specifically added the tractor and listed Kubota Finance. That cost according to my insurance agent would have been about $50 a year. fran35, I was asking where you lived in case you were close to me. I was going to recommend a JD dealer but it sounds like you have one close by that is pretty good. I live in Western MD but bought from a dealer in SW PA.
