As said they are obligated to do warranty work on Kubota's dime.

The other dealer is just being a jerk trying to tell you if you dont buy it there from him, dont bother bringing it in for warranty work. Scare tactic at best.

18,545(3800DT) is what the tractor with r1s going for around here. As for the dealer saying would park it out back,he may do the warranty work but it will be after the folks who did buy from him,cant say much. That was rude that he would tell you wouldn't do anything for you if bought somewhere else,figure everyone would wont that work now days. But the guy could be great to someone who does buy for him,who knows. Know anyone who bought from them? How many trips would it take to eat up that 1500? or you may never have to take it there. Do you have to take it to dealer for first 50hr service,for warranty reasons? I should know that answer but don't,lol.Never needed my Kubota worked on
I would stop in with trailer on the way to other and ask again if there is anyway could do the deal. You will either get some off or not but when you did take yours from the other dealer in you gave him every chance for your business.

No you don't have to take it to dealer, even for the first 50 hour work. I did mine at home. A large percentage of tractors never go back to the dealer.

I do all my service also,never even asked or had anything wrong. Reason I asked is my brother just bought a Mahindra and they require the 50hr service at dealer.

I've had 5 tractors in 30 years and have never taken one if for any work. Never needed warranty work and do all my own service & repairs. I do like to support local business, but not A-holes though.

I'm pretty sure that is the dealer, not Mahindra.

I know the salesman bought all my hay equipment from him and don't think he would BS my brother but he may. He got the 8560,said they need to adjust valves or something didn't really listen when my brother was talking,cause I do my own

Yes the 50 hr service does have to be completed and documented for warranty reasons. No it does not have to be done by a dealer. I believe that it is actually against the law to require that a dealer do the work other than if it is done at no charge to the customer.
Enough of this, lets get back to the L3800.
