Tractor News JOHN DEERE SEEKING KUBOTA'S

[/pine]

If you bought parts etc online or even used a credit card at a 3rd party equipment supply house they know what you're buying the parts for...

It usually in the fine print of credit card agreements and in the TOS of web vendors that they retain the right to share purchase data...

If your machine was financed it was probably warranty registered too. And there was probably a ucc1 filed by the finance company. That's all public information. Takes a little bit of digging, but it's there. Go to your states website, I think under Secretary of State you can do a ucc1 search by name. Year, make, model, pay off date. All there.

There are companies out there that compile that information and sell it to manufacturers, dealers, ad agencies etc. you want to send a flier to everyone in a list of zip codes or counties that have more than 5 acres with over 100k income. You could probably have a mailing list in less than an hour.

I seriously doubt that my LS dealer or his merchant account provider is selling my information to Deere. It's the only place I have purchased anything for my tractor.and my tractor information isn't sent to them, just an amount. More importantly not everyone receiving these mailings have purchased items from the same place.

Hecko Pete an information harvesting bot can get a lot of your information from this forum! Nothing is really private anymore and when your member information is right here with what tractor that you have.

A little work on TBN membership and stated tractor models would give a list...then need to find mailing addresses...although source could be otherwise, as mentioned in prior posts.

Yep got the same flyer 2 days ago. The 5M was an awesome tractor but it was like $15-20k more than my kubota M8540. It was definitely a lot more tractor in many ways but I couldn't justify the cost if I was making a living with it i would considered it.
5E series at the time did not offer a power shuttle trans on the open station. I think it was a year after i bought the m8540 they finally got with the program.

I received one of these fliers once before. I took advantage of the 0% for 5 years when I bought it. The tractor is registered for the road. Big brother knows all.

Personally I think Kubota is scaring the heck out of JD. Just watch some of the YouTube videos where they bash everything about Kubota. One even goes so far to say Kubota's are designed to fail.

BTW: My son test drove a JD 4066M and a 4044R before deciding on the MX5100. Originally he was looking at trading the L3940 for an L5460 or L6060 but decided to stay away from a DPF tractor and found some MX5100's still out there and this allowed him to keep the L3940 and purchase an MX5100 so they would have 2 loader tractors. Also the new JD 4000series is the loudest tractor in its class that he looked at.

There's a JD5065M here and it's a great tractor but the main reason they decided to go with it over a Kubota M7040 was that the 5065M was the last year model they made them and for $32K cash price with everything they wanted, except 4WD, it was too good a deal to turn down.
