Ready to sell my BX25D with under 59 hours thru Barlows since they do shipping and I'll be purchasing anothet machine from them which will save me on state sales tax.

Why are you dumping the Bx25? What did you find it lacked?

I believe I want a skid steer instead of a tractor. May be a mistake but believe I'm going to try it and see.

Besides the FEL and BH, my new BX came equipped with a Land Pride post hole digger, set of real pallet forks with the frame (not the clamp-on type), lightly used County Line 6' Landscape rake (still had the TSC price tag on it), QC for the FEL, 3 PT hitch for the rear, pair of LED work lights for the ROPS, mechanical thumb for the BH, pair of bucket hooks welded on, Hydraulic front blade with the undermount QC hitch and hoses, a full tank of diesel and a cap. $24K delivered. I took the 0%/60 deal. Then the dealer forgot to process the paperwork and I used the tractor for more than 4 months (50 hours) without making a payment, I had to call to remind them, still have not gotten a bill. In the meantime I added the BXpanded tooth bar and Underarmor plate.

And the saga continues...... I got a call from the dealer today, asking if he could drop by (from 30 miles away) to have me sign a corrected 0% loan document. Apparently he used my middle initial instead of my full middle name and Kubota Finance sent it back for correction. I suggested that he email me the document to save time, so he had his DIL scan and email it to me. When I reviewed it, I found that they had my name spelled wrong. Obviously KF wasn't going to accept that either, but the DIL had left for the day. They are going to try again tomorrow........ So now I've been using the BX since the beginning of September, 60+ hours, and have not received a bill or paid a dime on it. Not complaining mind you, but never had a situation like this before on a major purchase. I guess they don't need the money?

It's the dealer who is out the money right now. He likely has his inventory financed yet he hasn't received payment from Kubota Credit for your unit.

Kubota Finance (KF) is funny. I have bought lots of real estate and cars with 'Firstname, Lastname' and a squiggle on 26 pages of documents respectively. In my credit record, I am listed as 'Firstname, Middle1, Middle2, Lastname'. KF printed the credit paperwork with all my middle names on it and insisted on me signing with my middle names. So now these contracts carry a signature that doesn't resemble my actual signature, but the company is happy.

The dealer probably isn't out any money. Tractors or Kubota tractors are not like cars or trucks with the relationship with their dealers. For a period of time the tractors cost the dealer nothing, sort of like on consignment. After a period of time, which is pretty long, then they are returned to Kubota or some financing is charged.
I bought lots of tractors from Kubota thru KCC and was John W Thomas. The last few contracts have been John Wil Thomas and if the paper work is sent in different than that it comes back. Probably a computer spacing issue or number of letters in the name.

These things are happening to all of us. Its driven by government requirements for anti-terrorism stuff. All finance contacts have to match your drives license in spelling, middle initial, etc. The model numbers have to match to the 'T' include the weird tire and configuration codes. It feels like grade school sometimes. Its not just Kubota, everyone has to do it now.
