Price Check Canadian pricing on BX23

The machine might be the same, but the warranty will be for the country that it is sold in, not where it is exported to, unless the exportation is done by Kubota itself. Remember the restrictions that Kubota put on dealers selling tractors over the internet and sending them to other states. They feel the same way about machines sold in the US and shipped to other countries that already have a Kubota dealer network. Kubota will not pay for service on a machine that is repaired outside of the country that it is sold. The same goes for your automobile, unless it specifically includes other countries in the warranty. I know that Mercedes will not warranty any car that is purchased in other countries, unless the purchase was made through a overseas delivery plan by a Mercedes dealer. Also, Canada has certain taxes on products that are added before the sale, unlike a sales tax that is added to the end of the selling price. Just like in the US with the Federal Excise Tax, which is added to the product before the selling price.

The warranty issue as explained to me appears to be strictly a marketing ploy. I have not confirmed this with Kubota Canada. It appears that Kubota Canada and Kubota USA are two different companies as the incentives I read about here regularly available in the US do not apply to Canada. I have been told that Kubota Canada will only honour warranties on tractors sold in Canada. This type of stratagy is actually quite common ie. Canon cameras being one area where I have run into this before. The Kubota dealer here tells me he is not allowed to sell into the US and Vice versa

I just went to the Kubota Website and notice for the first time that the BX22/23 is now sold with a 24 month warranty, not the 36 month warranty that they used to be sold with. The other BX series also have a 24 month warranty, but they include a 36 month driveline warranty that isn't included on the BX22/23. Kubota warranty web page

The $15,500. is a dealer in NY (USA). Yes that price is a BX23 TLB

I agree but any dealer should be able to work with you. All the dealer does is submit the paper work to Kubota for being paid.

It is like when I needed service or parts, if I can do it (most times), I had my dealer ship the parts to me and I ship the old parts back.

It is not worth my time to travel etc. Plus I get the parts next day and at my door!

I think it is all marketing since I work with many snowmobile guys, boat guys they buy alot of hardware up there and why cheaper.

So far all I know is that when you travel back they ask for all the bills of sale, if registered etc.

I know one guy bought a truck, 2 brand new snowmobile (artic cat something) and a trailer). Another guy bought a huge boat and the trailer.

I have to agree with Junkman - this is exactly what a dealer told me and he was angry that I was willing to buy a "grey market" (US) tractor just to save a couple of bucks ($2500.00 Cdn)!! He then implied that because I wasn't supporting Kubota Canada dealers by buying a Canadian tractor that servicing may be more difficult and incur extra expenses and time (i.e. your tractor will be at the back of the to-do list).

When someone knows what the duty situation is on new tractors - please post. I am all for buying local but not when it will cost me that much more.

Regards,

Jason

HOW DARE HE CALL A FINE AMERICAN MADE PRODUCT GRAY MARKET!!!!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You might remind the dealer that the tractor is manufactured in Georgia USA from parts that are sent from Japan using American labor. The loader, mid mount mower, bagger system, and backhoe are also manufactured by American companies under contract to Kubota USA. The hydraulic controls, hoses, and cylinders are manufactured by American companies also. The only thing that I know of that is manufactured in Canada is the BX snow blower and the sweeper, and I am not certain about the sweeper. For all intents and purposes the only thing that Kubota Canada is doing is importing the tractor from the Kubota US and marking it up. I believe that is where the extra cost is. Kubota US sells to Kubota Canada, who sells to Canadian dealers. In the US, Kubota US sells to the dealers directly. Kubota Canada is just a middle man making some additional profits. I would tell him that if he is willing to make the deal a little sweeter, than you would consider purchasing from him. I believe that if you search out Kubota dealers in Canada, you will find one that is willing to deal. It is just a matter of finding that dealer that is hungry for the business and doesn't want to get rich on every sale. Look for a small town dealer that is willing to work close to the vest....
