Not sure who you got quotes from. I have dealt with Chappell in Brentwood and they have been great for parts. I have not had any service done there, nor did I buy there. I have two neighbors with Kubota's bought from MB. A
BX22 (or 2200, the one you can't get a bh for) and another with a 7500. The guy with the 2200 payed as much as I did for my TC24. He his happy though had a little service work done (50 hour service, and dealer upgraded alt).
The other with the 7500 is not happy with the service from MB. His father has a larger Kubota (don't know what model) and he is also unhappy with the service.
I have talked with the sales guys from there a couple of times and I will not buy anything from them.
I did talk to a Kubota dealer in NY, and was very pleased with them. The dealer in Keene never got back to me. I ended up going a different color though.
Not to sway you from Orange, but I have talked a bit with Northwood Power Equipment. They have a shop in Northwood, Pembrooke, and I believe Markwell Equipment in Merrimack. I have been to the Pembrooke store a couple of times and they have a lot of stuff. Sales guy was really nice. They sell Massey, Agco (orange /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif) and now Kioti (orange too /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif). Chappell in Brentwood and the Northwood Power Equipment in Pembrooke are real tractor stores. Not just power equipment (Saws and stuff). The Markwell equipment site had a few tractors, and was mostly a power equipment store.
I think Markie61(could have been someone else) bought a massey from the Northwood store and has been very happy.
Anyway, good luck.
