50 hour service trip to the dealer

[DannyD]

I knew it was a bad idea for me to take the bota myself, real bad. Made the trip fine, check the photos of the new trailer in my album. What I saw was a snow blade for the BX 23/2200 series. Hyd lift, and shift. neat little setup, and it is also set to use the brush, and the snow blower (subframe mount works on all 3). 1600.00 for the blade, and I was afraid to ask on the snow blower and broom. If I could have gotten by with it, I would have the blade now, but i would have been doing my TBN from the library where just outside is the box I would be living in.

Dealer told me of one customer that made like 12G a year doing side jobs with his 23, me thinks he may have been trying a sales pitch, but who knows.

You made a wise decision. Living in a cardboard box isn't that comfortable during inclement weather. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Maybe the dealer would like to arrange for the side jobs and collect the money......you could have the attachments.....

check out the kubota website if this site does not work. BX23, attachments

1625.00 is what I was quoted on the blade installed.

Seems that the web site has a contradiction of description... Here is where the problem is....

Hydraulic lift standard, hydraulic angle standard <font color="red">
Manual blade angle adjustment, 0 ~ 30 degrees left and right </font>

Which is it.... manual or hydraulic?? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I also wonder if the dealers quoting the higher price are including the PTO kit with the Quick Disconnect Mounting. This will push the price upward considerably.

The Hydraulic lift and Hydraulic angle are standard on the BX2763 Blade.I doubt they are including a mid-pto kit with it Paul as I had to buy the valve and stand in addition to the blade ,quick-hitch,skid shoes along with a squeegee and it all ran over $2400 installed.

That price is crazy! I got both the front blade and snowblower along with nid-PTO kit, quick hitch, 4-way valve, skid shoes for $3300-3400 (can't remember exactly). The front blade by itself (assuming you already had the necessary other components) was $900.

 

[DannyD]

both are hydraulic on the one I saw at the dealer. i wish I had 1600 extra bucks, one would be in my barn right now.

So does anybody have the part numbers that I need to buy and not just listening to the dealer??
Is it a KUBOTA blade or somebody elses???

Is that for a 54" blade or a 60 " blade ??
