Kubota fixed pricing?

We have a dealer up here advertising BX 25s for $15,999 if you buy 2 implements or more, finance all for 0 down 0 interest for 5 years. Have a nice vacation up here on the difference and haul it home. No sales tax if you have an out of state license, then you haggle with CA under their excise tax rules.

Thats what I was talking about. The nice thing is if you get the bx25d, they consider the loader as one implement, and then you get the mmm as the other and you end up getting the deck for free basically.....if you can call it free.

I don't think so. The FEL and BH are a part of a BX25D. Only way it comes from Kubota to dealer. Any two implements can be picked and they are being offered at reduced prices by Kubota so dealer or friend wanting one could buy them from you for below dealer cost. Yes I recently bought a BX25D-1 under these conditions for $17500 but with no mowing deck.

Got a third quote over the phone from a dealer 120 miles from me in Fresno and I'm waiting for the official quote but he was saying right about $18100 for the unit which sounds a bit more in line with what I'm hearing here and was hoping to pay. Will have to take a drive to pick it up if I go that route, by the father in law lives out there so we could make a weekend of it. Will see what the actual quote says and then give the local dealer a chance before I make a decision. Only problem with the Fresno dealer is that he says they don't have any in stock and it doesn't look like they will be getting any until Aug. We'll see.

That's a good idea and a heck of a deal for someone to score an expensive implement on the 'cheap'. I wish I could fall into that deal.

Thats true, they do come as a unit. You paid 17,500 with no mower deck, But, The dealer I went to considered the front end loader as a implement, and I got the 54"mmm as the second implement plus I got the 3pt hitch kit to boot for 17,800. Dont ask me how he did this or why, but I have the paperwork that shows this and if I had a scanner to post a picture, I would. How else can you explain me getting a BX25D for 17,800?

17,800 out the door?

The Kubota dealer in Orange, Va was giving $2,000 off MSRP on the new B2301.

Yes, that was out the door. I am working on trying to get a picture of the receipt right now. I was told I was crazy and there was no way on another site also, but that was the total.

To the OP. make sure you check all that is included with that price. The 3pt hitch does not come with them....ballasting rear tires is extra and so on. They throw a lot of crap out there that you can do a lot cheaper than having them do it.

Thats a lot lot better. A little drive to save a lot is no big deal I would think...Also, Like I said earlier, check and see if the 3pthitch is with it, balasted back tires....and so on. Ask a lot of questions as to what it all includes. Dont drive down till you know.....

Good luck and keep us updated....

All of those include the 3pt kit. The only one that includes loaded tires, at least right now, is the first quote. Pretty sure it won't cost $2k to load the little rears!! But yes, those things are on my final check list for sure. Going to talk to the local dealer tomorrow morning, will let you know what comes from that.
