extending warranty on BX24

[radioman]

I just received a postcard in mail about my warranty is about to expire soon. It also has a statement about calling to get a extended warranty. I havent needed to use my warranty at all, but Wanted to touch base with you guys and see what you think? How much would it be ? I am afriad to call to find out .

radioman,
i might be mistaken, but i thought i saw onetime, the extended warranty costs on the "build my kubota," part of their websight . . . . shrekbelly

Is everybody getting these postcards? Got to believe it's an attempt to compensate for drop in sales due to the economy. I just got mine in the mail. Has anyone called or checked into it? Interested to hear the pros and cons.

Wondering out of curiosity what the price/time frame/warranty extension includes...?

Funny, I got one yesterday also. As a rule extended warranties aren't a good deal. If you don't like working on your tractor, don't have alot of tools, and don't want to mess with it if it breaks, and extended warranty might be a good deal.

I also would like to know the cost and terms of the extended warranty.

They wouldn't sell them if they didn't make money on them so the odds are in your favor. So it comes down to what dodge_man says. It's a comfort level thing.

Radioman,

I checked with the local dealer and he said a BX24 one year extension costs $660 with no hour limitation and a two year extension costs $1200 - again no hour limit.

Dealers can tell you about other models for the rest who are interested as some do have hour limitations but not the BX24.

This adds a year (or two) more full warranty coverage and after the extension expires, the power train warranty still is in effect.

Johnny Law got it right about a "comfort level thing".

The way it works out, the more people Kubota can sell these to spreads their risk over a broader range. The personal decision to extend or not should also depend on what's covered. What does the warranty extension cover?
