B2910, I\'m an owner at last

Spent the last 2 years dreaming and reading posts. Just penned a deal on a B2910. Don't know just how well I did but, I think my local dealer did me right: B2910HSD with folding rops, LA402 FEL, B4672 Back hoe, w/16" bucket, R4's and a 60" belly mower for $24,650 delivered (Carver was more). How did I do? I'm in the car business and I've been reading posts that state that the dealer is obligated/wants service/warranty work on tractors he didn't sell. Unless there are major differences between car and tractor dealers, from my experience, warranty work pays the same hourly rate as retail (it's the law in most states) but, dealers don't like doing warranty work on a unit they didn't sell because they are reimbursed by the mfr. based on the mfr. published Flat-Rate, which is typically less than what they charge a retail customer. Bottom line: they make less on warranty - buy local because if you have a problem, the guy that made money on you will be more likely to take care of you. Also, why are Kubota box blades so darn much money? And, can anyone recommend a pto mounted chipper for this tractor. All replies sincerely appreciated. This is a great forum - thanks!

Congratulations, you bought a great tractor. Every dealer is legally obligated under their contract with Kubota to do warranty work, but have do have the flexibility to schedule their own customers first. That shouldnt be a practical problem because Kubotas are so reliable the Kubota repair department is usually playing canasta with the maytag repairman. Curious as to why you got the smaller backhoe instead of the 4690.

Glennmac,
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, they are contracturally obligated to perform warranty service but, that doesn't mean they like it - legally it is difficult to enforce. Anyway, as you say, with a Kubota, hopefully you never need it but, I also feel like I need to support the local dealer. I went with the smaller BH because it has more leverage and I don't need to dig that deep. I didn't know the maytag guys played canasta.... I thought it was Go Fish...

Congratulations Fox, what have you been dreaming about.

All aboard emstreet, register and add some excitment to your life. If you are already bored to tears that is.
Just kidding, I look forward to logging on every night after I park the BX and the wife. In that order of course and I only turn off the Bota. I like leaving wifey running.
