Bobcat implement promotion not as advertised

[Ishkatan]

Like I said, not an issue with me but then I'd never have a hydro. I use ground engaging implements (I farm) so a hydro for me is a non starter. Have 3 pedals, 2 brake pedals and a clutch pedal I hardly ever use.

Don't you use the clutch to reverse? Does it go as fast in reverse as it does forward?

If a tractor has a power reverser, the tractor has a hydraulic clutch that switches F-N-R with the flip of a lever.

On the Bobcat website under the build sheet they list the implements as 3 pt. Those I believe are the implements that apply to the promotion, but I no longer see that promotion on the Bobcat website.

Pallet fork, angle blade & ballast box are what I intended to buy. I also wanted and did purchase a quick release.

The Bobcat site says
Get a $400 USD*/$520 CAD* rebate when you add two three-point implements to the purchase of your new compact tractor (excludes quick hitch and rear ballast box).

Sooooo, are you certain the dealer said the angle blade and pallet fork would not qualify for the rebate?

The OP is just slandering Bobcat at this point because he didn't meet the requirements for the rebate. The website says the ballast box is excluded and the pallet forks are not a 3 point implement so the OP was only purchasing 1 qualifying implement and didn't qualify for the rebate. If the OP didn't understand that and the dealer failed to clarify that info then that is a dealer issue not a Bobcat issue.

That would be why.. Popups disabled.

Kinda BS to hide it in there, 3 clicks in, though. But, as said, it does say to talk to the dealer about the details, so.. <shrug>

Unfortunately both the OP and the dealer both lose out on savings and sales. U can get the following attachments to go with the angle blade, meet the rebate requirements and allow the OP to get back $400 with the rebate:
1. 60" tine rake for $691
2. 60" box blade for $724
3. Post hole auger for $855

Again, Kubotas are nice tractors but I found the foot controls cumbersome and extremely uncomfortable.

really now. The rocker is the shiznit.

A lot of people try to use it like a pedal and it's not really comfortable that way. Use it like a treadle and it's great in my experience.
