_Rat_ mentioned warranty work being part of the reason he didn't buy out of state but I don't think that should be a problem. What happens if you move out of state, are you going to trailer your tractor to where you bought it? Get your best deal even if it's out of state then find a good dealer near you. You can still build a good relationship with a local dealer, heck after 3 years your warranty is done and they make most of their money on repair work. In reality these Kubotas require very little service anyway. Maybe I'm just lucky because my local Kubota dealer doesn't care where the tractor they service was perchased.
