You guys make me blush.
Well, We have a good drive down the road. Had a meal together, and the wife and I just talked things through. After some shopping for things she needed, we stopped at the Kubota dealer and talked with Steve at Miscisin Brothers. Good guy who I have dealt with in the past for things.
My wife drove the 2320 a bit more. "It's higher to step up into". Yup, it is.
"It doesn't turn quite as sharp". Nope, it doesn't. "I'm sitting up higher". Yes, dear, you are. But then the admission, that yes, she could adjust. Went back in and talked money. Bottom line was $4500 plus tax, or might as well say $5000 out the door, difference, with BX in trade. That price was fair enough. I know. I had checked other places. That was bare tractor to bare tractor. A FEL would add $2700, and so on and so on.
We have previously agreed among ourselves on the drive down that this would be too much money, right now. This is mostly her point of view, but again, I listen to her. Her point is well taken. Let this crop season contract run its course. Get by this season and evaluate the profit/loss of it in September when the monies all get counted. Should the contract pay off well, we could certainly justify the B model for future contracts. If it didn't pay out well, then we would own a tractor larger than we need on a day to day basis or our own gardening and chores, included snow in the winter.
Her logic was impeccable, as always, and I agreed. She rehearsed this logic with Steve at his desk, who then told us that he would lock his price today until October 1. That was a gentlemanly thing to do in my book.
There is a tad bit more to this dealership visit, but I think it best I start a new thread for that.
