BX2200 in Montana area

[daveMT]

I am looking to buy a BX2200 for my place in south-central Montana.
Can anyone recommend a good dealer? The 2 I've talked to are in Bozeman and Billings.
How about price. Anyone bought a BX2200, MMM and FEL in this part of the country lately? What did you pay?

Check with Steve Carver of Carver Equipment Co. in Dunn, N.C. I am in Colorado and just bought a B2410 from him. It hasn't been delivered yet (Hopefully next week), but so far all the folks that I have had contact with at Carver have been very helpful AND cheap. Carver blew away all the dealers here along the front range price wise by $700.00. I gave the local dealers a chance to match Carvers price and got the song and dance about overhead and "Colorado wages" whatever that means. I welcomed all of them to the global economy.

I got my Carver quote and it is only a few hundred less than the first quote from a local dealer. Most likely due to the amount of shipping needed to get here. I'm going back to the dealers to see if they will come down. I'd rather keep the business local if the pricing is close. Luckily we don't have "Colorado wages", and there is no state sales tax.

For those interested, I went with the local dealer. My new BX2200 arrives 6/1. The price was so close, and he is going to deliver it (about 100 miles for him.) I felt very comfortable that he is going to take good care of my bota.
