I went and dug some of the old posts out of the archive:

I recieved my new Kubota
L3010 w/loader and backhoe from Carver Equipment on Monday 11-22-99, two days ahead of schedule. The machine arrived exactly as ordered with .9 hours on the meter. I had requested that the tractor be delivered wired for 4 extra lights. It arrived so but without the lights. I met the semi flat bed at a local truck stop and transfered the tractor on a roll back type flat bed. The truck driver was a hell of a nice guy who called me a few times while he was on the road to let me know where he was. He said he could have gotten rid of my tractor 100 times on the way out. The trip was 2700 miles. I have to say it was a pleasure doing business with Carver Equipment and Steve Carver. These people were very professional, informative, and genuine. I was a little reluctant at first to buy over the internet, hell, I called the local police to make sure that the business actually existed. The lady dispatcher told me that she have been in Dunn, North Carolina for 20 years and that Carver was there when she arrived. Oh, the 4 extra lights, they were home when I arrived with my new tractor. UPS had brought them earlier in the day. Well I gotta go now my new tractor is still running.
Sincerely,
Steve L

I have had a very good experance with Carver also. I have an old 235 and I wanted to add a rop to it. Well my local dealer said that they were not avaliable. Steve at Carver not only got one for me. he got it for me at a discount. Thanks Steve and your whole crew.

I live in California and just bought a 4310 from Mike at
http://www.kubota-tractors.com .......in Kentucky!
Talked to Carver I agree with the site, but he didn't have the product when I needed it. Mike was the best sent e-mails on a regular basis, photo's about every other day. The price beat all my locals guys by thousands.
And ya at what I saved if I need major repairs I can pay to have someone come to me to repair it.
My local dealers took three weeks to even give me a quote..by that time my tractor was on the way.

I bought a 4200 from Carver Equip Dec, '98 via the internet. I've praised them here before, and the passage of time and experience has not altered my opinion--I would buy from Steve Carver again, and I'm 600 miles/only a keyboard/only a telephone call distance from him.

I too recently purchased a
B2710 from Carver Equipment and found them to be good honest folk that are knowlegeable about their products and provided me with excellent service.

I recently bought a B2710HST w/front end loader from Carver Equipment in Dunn, NC. I can truthfully say it was more difficult buying an automobile from my local dealer than it was buying a tractor from a dealer 650 miles away. Even though I have never met Steve Carver or Bobby Parker, these guy's treated me like I wanted to be treated. They were very attentive and responsive to all my questions. Even on holidays and weekends, these guy's were answering my e-mails. To me that's service!
The tractor was delivered and packed by a professional carrier who also went over the details of the tractor and front end loader with me before returning to NC. The carrier didn't have to do this but it was well appreciated.
I've got 16 hours on my new machine and it had what I consider a minor problem with a hydraulic leak. The service department at Carver was on top of it and I had a replacement part in 2 days. I wish I can say that about my local JD dealer.
Don't be afraid to buy on the Internet. Just make sure the dealer will support you after the sale. I feel comfortable with my purchase from Carver Equipment and I believe they will be very attentive to all my tractor needs, today and tomorrow.
