Price Check BX23 Pricing

( Thanks to all who responded to my inquiry. The dealer is going to deliver the BX23 to my house on Thursday. I ended up paying $17,000, but I also got four extra kubota rims with new tires for turf use. )

You probably won't need the turf tires and rims.
I would turn them in and get my money back.
You could use them for spares in case of a flat,but $375 is a
pretty expensive spare tire.

*I have been to Dickinson's in Fredericksburg and was quoted $17,095 for the BX23, 60" MMM, and rear wheel weights: ======

* Mine was
$15,500 for the Bx23, 60" MMM , -no rear wheel weights.
1595 sounds pretty steep for wheel weights , that you probably don't need anyway.

Rex, no the 17K did not include taxes, but since you live in VA and have been shopping around, you probably already know that the BX23 is in somewhat high demand in this region. So your price sounds reasonable for this area. I purchased the BX from Winchester Equipment. Although, I found out today that there is another Kubota dealer in Woodstock, VA. I probably should have also contacted them for a quote, but instead I checked with the Kubota dealers in Loudoun and Fairfax counties. They were all priced about the same. As far as the tires are concerned, I did get the tractor today and after driving on the turf with the (AG) bar tires, I will probably get some use out of the extra turf tires, only because I'm so picky about how my lawn looks /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif., but if you don't mind the impressions left in the grass, the other posters are probably right that the turf tires aren't really a necessity.

I might agree on the high output alternator, but the block heater is definately worth the $35 for the one time that it is cold enough to need it. I know that they do get an occassional snow storm in VA, and if it is cold enough to snow, it is cold enough to need a block heater. Sure you can get away without the block heater if you live where it never snows, but for $35 why not get it while the tractor is new and the dealer will install it at no charge usually. I often wonder why Kubota doesn't just add block heaters to every tractor and increase the price accordingly. If they installed them as standard equipment, then the price of the part alone would drop as a result of the volume. I am looking at getting a new B3030HSDC Loader/Backhoe this summer, and I would expect that Kubota will have the block heater as a standard item. If not, then I will have it installed before it is delivered.

I just ordered my BX23 from the local dealer here in Rome, Georgia.

BX23 w/ 12" backhoe bucket = $15,385
60" MMM = $1,850
High output alternator = $171
Subtotal = $17,406
Sales Tax = $1,218.42
Total price = $18,624.42

I have opted not to use the Kubota financing of 4.99% for 60 months. Instead I'm using my local credit union at 7.25% for 60 months. The reasons are thus: 1) It comes out of my paycheck every 2 weeks, so I don't have to worry about sending in payments. 2) They will finance 100% instead of 90%. I can send the other 10% to a much higher interest credit card so the net result is I am saving more in interest somewhere else (plus I've been on a kick the last 6 months to get rid of my credit cards).

Why didn't you go with the Kubota 4.99% financing and then finance the other 10% with the credit union at 7.25 $ ?

======= ) We have a company here that does nothing but specialize in
rebuilding starters alternators and generators.

They beat the cost of buying a rebuilt one from the auto parts stores and dealers every time.
It's never cost me more than 30 to 60 dollars for a starter alternator or generator. =======

Newbie here,
I just got back from the local 'Bota dealer.
BX23- 14,600.
60"MMM- 1,738.00
Md Tax 777.00
Total 17,115.00

Lurking around here for the past two months, this seems a little high. Any opinions?
Thanks
Tom

I'm using the extra money to pay off a 17.49% credit card. Also, at the same time I'm getting rid of a Van loan ($350/mo) and a signature loan ($230/mo) . With the extra savings per month I can accelerate payments. Overall I should come out about the same. Also, the credit union payment automatically comes out of my paycheck (before I get it) so I don't have to think about the payment.

Another thing is the relationship with the credit union. I can just call them up and tell them I need some money and all they ask is "how much"? With the Kubota credit I'd have to fill out the application, wait on them to approve it, etc.

Not sure if the credit union would want to finance only 10% of the tractor. They might make me put it on a signature loan at 13.25% interest.

Bill.

Another Newbie here with a lame question on credit since you all seem to be discussing this as part of the bx23 issue. does kubota send you a payment book?

gsxr1100 · Mar 4, 2005

yes they will. And they will send more envelopes then you need! I pay online (through my bank) so I toss the checks and envelopes out the window.

jim_wilson · Mar 4, 2005

If you go thru Kubota credit they will send you a payment book with stubs for each month's payment. All the details are right on the stub - payment amount, due date, etc. They even send you the envelopes to mail the payment in. And unlike other financing I have used before their payment stubs actually fit in their envelopes properly. Kubota credit appears to have their act together.

jim_wilson · Mar 4, 2005

Depends on the area of the country you are in - when I bought my BX23 last July it was $16,400 - that was with a high amp alternator, filled tires, a toothbar for the FEL, and a 50 hour service kit. I did not get the MMM. At the time I could have saved about $500 by buying from a dealer out of state and getting the tractor delivered but the dealer I bought from had a very good reputation and has treated me well so far - I preferred the dealer relationship to the $500 savings.

gregL · Mar 4, 2005

thanks fella'a I just took deliv. on a 3400 hydro. upon looking through the paper work, i could find no info. referencing a payment book........back on the bx23 while i'm at it; there is a used unit list in the classified from Georgetown In. i actually went and looked at........cherry all the way. nice trailer and nice guy too.

jim_wilson · Mar 5, 2005

Not really sure - I have never specifically looked at BX23 with the regular alternator and compared it to the high amp on my tractor. You might post a question asking some of the other people here on tractorbynet - I know there are at least a few who have upgraded to the high amp alternator so they would have seen both.
