Have you had much dealing with Hoober on the service side ?
I did stop by there to look at their tractors but the sales people were too busy. The lady called out for a sales person a couple of times. Later on ran into one of their service people at the gas station who said that they did service work all over MD. Since I live near Annapolis I really was interested but never went back.

I got the BX22 FEL and BH for $15,300 that include MD Tax (5%) setup and delivery.

Personally I've never gotten service from Hoobers. I did buy a 72" Woods finish mower from them about 3 years ago. Like I wrote earlier they gave me a pretty good price but I really had to haggle with them.

Now that I think of it, I sort of did get serviced by them. When I bought the mower it came with air tires and I had specifically asked for solid ones. The salesman I dealt with, Erv, told me they didn't have the solid in stock so I should use it with the air tires until the right ones came in. I used it all season before the solid ones came in and they delivered them and replaced the old ones at no charge. That was pretty good service. From what I hear from my farmer friends their service is generally pretty good but expensive.

My other tractors are an old Farmall H and a Massey Harris 50. I do all the work on those myself. I hope it'll be a long, long time before my orange machine needs work.

I never realized that until, coincidently, I saw a billboard for Hoobers late Monday on my way back south from Smelladelphia, er, uh, ...I mean Philadelphia (just funnin'--it's a nice city if you like that sort of thing). Since I live down south in the timber, marsh and flatlands, they are a bit out of my way. Are they somewhere west of Glasgow on Route 40?

Orb,

I got it...I din't see you had mentioned Middletown until just now. Probably off Route 301.

<font color=blue>I actually was surprised that except for the Deere dealer in Annapolis there was no Kubota dealer close by either. Looks like a business opportunity to me.</font color=blue>


I had the same thoughts. I think that Baldwin Equipment (used to be near Annapolis Mall where Generals Highway turns into West St) used to sell Kubotas, I think. Sounds like a business opportunity to me.

Ah, yes..the urge pops up in most of us. Don't forget the old parable about the fisherman who loved fishing so much, he opened up a bait and tackle shop. All he had time to do was bookkeeping and Saturday night bowling leagues. /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif
