I use Messick's. There are quite a few though, and I am sure others will chime in!!

I have used Coleman's and have been happy with the prices and service.

I agree with Deano, Messick's is fast and very reasonable. Both times I have used them, I have felt guilty though. I'm a firm believer in buying local when practical. I want to give them my business so they will be around when I really need them. Personally, I don't mind paying a little more (if this is the case) to give them my business.

I've always used "Tractor Smart". Prices have always been better (even with shipping) than my local Kubota Dealer.

Hey, but I'm always willing to go to a better source. Messick's ? Can't really say I've tried them for parts. Next time, I'll have to check with them.

I agree with you Tod. If I wasn't 1 hour each way from Gardiner's, I would buy more from them. The time plus the fuel is more than twice as much as I spend in shipping to get the parts next day (by ground). The pricing, by the way, is really not an issue.

Look for a PM shortly Tod.

A few weeks ago, I went to my local Kubota dealer approximately 10 miles away and spent over $400 for engine oil, SUDT, filters, etc. I had 4 cases of oil and one of parts when all was brought out to the counter. The young man at the counter pushed it to the front of the counter, I paid, he got his cart and proceeded to wait on the next customer. Not a word of thanks, not an offer to help load or anything. I am 70 years old and thankfully am very much able to load for myself. I made 5 trips to my truck and nobody on staff made any effort to assist, not even to open the door for me. I won't feel guilty at all purchasing future parts on line. The JD dealer nearby is even worse.

If you have a good dealer, that is a different issue. In my case, I will pay MORE on line rather than go back.

I agree, but do to the sad shape our economy is in, 3 Kubota dealers around me have closed.
I don't have any choice but to buy online, if I want Kubota Parts.
