FOREX-Dollar near 3-month high vs yen, boosted by U.S. bond yields
* Dollar/yen steady below 3-month high set this week
* This week's rises in U.S. bond yields underpin dollar/yen
LONDON, Oct 27 The dollar traded close to a three-month high against the yen on Thursday, underpinned by higher U.S. bond yields and growing expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will raise interest rates by the end of the year.
Perhaps 60% of kubota tractor parts are made in Japan. That is influenced by the fact that all Kubota FELs and Backhoes are manufactured in Georgia.
The US dollar is at an eight month high relative to the Japanese yen, meaning yen priced Kubota products are cheap to buyers purchasing with US dollars. Kubota incentives probably will not get any better. The dollar may reverse direction and go down after the November election, possibly yielding reduced Kubota incentives in 2017, or higher MSRP.

When I bought I talked them down to about 12% and that included all rebates 0% etc
Yes, total off MSRP was 21% for the tractor and rear blade. This does not include the optional KTAC insurance or the $65 document fee, for the 0% financing. Just the purchase price of the tractor and rear blade from the MSRP on the Build It off the website.

I went to 4 dealers and none were that good. One stuck to MSRP ( he was 10 minutes from my house) and the others did not have a gear model

I didn't read these replies but I will say if you can find a "holdover" tractor from 2013 or 2014 you can get one heck of a deal. There are a lot of these models sitting on dealer lots unsold and I have heard that sales managers are cutting deals to help them get moved. I am aware of two excellent deals. Plus, many of these models are without the final TIER IV baggage.
What I think happened is that dealers overestimated the value of pre-emissions models and marked them up higher than they should of anticipating a surge in demand that flopped along with grain prices. I remember one dealer wanting retail for a hot model and not really willing to deal. He still has, or had that model last week.

Very nice setup. It doesn't appear to be "just sitting in the shed until spring". I bet it comes out of the shed a bunch more before spring... :laughing: Congrats
