Do dealers in your area have inventory?

My dealer is 18 miles away. He has been at the same location for 29 years. He had several models of each Series, from small, medium, and large tractors, lawn tractors and recreation vehicles on his lot when I bought there in June. He didn't have the one I wanted though. My Dealer called another Dealer located 40 miles away, and picked uo my Model in a crate, brought it back, and I personally saw the mechanics assemble my choice. I purchased a 2011- L4400, 4WD, FEL, gear drive transmission. It is an excellent machine and my Dealer was GREAT in every aspect.:thumbsup::tractor:

...and why should they. Why should a dealer floorplan a model that collects dust and generates no traffic. It's not good business. It is, however, taxable.

Kubota dealers are not the same as car dealers. The inventory on the lot belongs to Kubota, not the dealer. Now I've been told that at a certain point in time that changes. Don't know if it's a year or two years or less. Guess Kubota will not stock a lot forever if the dealer isn't selling any of their Kubota tractors.
When I travel I notice Orange. I've seen dealers with 2 or 3 tractors and I've seen dealers with upward of a fifty to a hundred tractors. Barlows, the dealer in Somerset, Ky has as many or more than I've seen at any other lot and Barlows has this area of tractors in crates that keeps growing and shrinking and changing all the time.
Barlows does also have several used tractors which I'm sure are totally owned by them unless they may be selling an ocassional one for someone.

The larger the dealer the better the chance of seeing a 3030 tractor. The B-3200 which is the standard model sells about 10 to 1 over the 3030.

Not nearly that for us. We have 5 B3030's, and 4 B3200's.
