If you like it what difference does it make what you paid for it. Your here at beautiful FLW? Where did you end up purchasing from Im looking to upgrade my B7100 and starting to look for a decent dealership

Powergod,
I'm not going to bad mouth the Kubota dealer in Steelville. He was just a $1000 more than Fritz implement in Monnett. I know Steelville is a lot closer to FT Wood but that thousand bucks I saved is going to buy me two more attachments; a 5' rear blade and a 3-pt polly salt/seed spreader. I'll still have some left over. If Mr Wade Grandstaff there in Steelville is willing to deal with you then I say buy from him. He was professional and courtious but he just wouldn't budge on his price with me. Hope this helps. What's a warrent offficer doing in Steelville anyway ? Are you in recruiting command ?

As many have stated, don't worry about the price after you bought it, just enjoy it. Last year, I bought what I thought was a 1998 Kubota B2100 HST for $8300. Some months later, I found out it was really a 1995. The 98 was easy to believe because it hardly had any scratches on it and I was a complete newbie. Not that I'm an expert now by any means, just a little more experienced than last year.
During that same time period, I saw bigger tractors for less, smaller tractors for more and everything in between. Am I happy with my purchase? YES!!!!! Thanks to this tractor, I learned about hydraulics, diesel engines and am learning to weld better because of various projects for the tractor. I no longer ache from digging and hauling and its a machine.
So don't worry about that cash, just keep tractoring and reading these message boards. The folks on TBN are very helpful and knowledgeable. Couldn't have done some of these projects without them.

powergod,
If you're looking for a Kubota and you read through this thread then you'll see I've done all the research for you. Fritz implement offered the best deal and my only recommendation would be to stay away from the Springfield dealer. That guy was litterally trying to scam an extra $5,000 from me. Good luck and post some photos of your new tractor.
