My Kubota Purchase (BX2660)

[kmanvt]

Most of my research and testing came last year, but due to financial issues and the economy I decided to hold off. Well after our riding mower broke down a few weeks ago I felt it was time to start looking again. Last year I was looking at the BX2350 and the small B series. So I picked up there, except with the BX2360 instead of the BX2350. I tried to getting a feeling for the two on the forum, but it seemed to be split pretty evenly. I was slightly leaning toward the B series thinking I could use it for other things on the farm besides mowing, but wasn稚 sure.

I go to the local dealer last Friday to test drive both. The sales guy was supposed to get the bottom line deal on both (BX2360 & B2620) before I got there. (He already gave me a pretty good price over the phone for the 2620). Well the bottom line price on the 2620 turned out to be $400 higher than the price he gave over the phone. He said the reason is that the R4 tires I wanted cost that much more. (I won稚 go there!) Anyway he says that he has a demo BX2660 (5hrs on it) he could make me a deal on. I go to look it over while he gets the price. The owner took it home once to mow their lawn and then they had used it a few times to mow a little bit of grass at the dealership. It was a little dusty, but looked fine. The price turned out to be $9950 with the 60èŠ*mm, $50 to swap out the turfs for R4s, and they gave me everything for the 50hr service for $75. I thought the price seemed pretty good from the other prices I had gotten on the BX2360. I called the boss to see if she could come take it for a spin after work (she does a lot of the mowing while I知 at work). She gets there, drives it around and seems to like it. (She loves the smell of diesel!)

So for a little over $10K I知 getting a BX2660 now. They also threw in a couple of hats (pink for the boss), Kubota tag, mouse pad, pens, and keys chains. I was also able to take advantage of the 48 month no interest deal. I知 pretty happy with the deal and it痴 supposed to be delivered this week.

That sounds like a pretty good deal to me. I'm sure that it will handle your needs fine, and give you years of service. Don't forget the pics when it shows up!

Man where are the pics. You did get a good deal if you ask me.

Enjoy

You may have to go back and get one for yourself.

Thats 1k less than the price I was give on a BX2360 with a 60" mower, so you did great. Also the BX2360 only has 42 months of 0%. I am jealous.

Good deal! Get the loader now. You will be amazed at the time and money that glorified wheelbarrow will save you. I would be lost without that FEL. I put my wheelbarrow in the basement for my grandkids after I got it.

. . . yes, you got a deal, i have yet to figure out why dealers were promoting the bx2660 at a lower price than the bx2360, though i know it to be true when i was attempting to trade my bx1850 in.
i am awaiting a new bx2360 from my dealer. i think the actual power of these machines is under-rated. my bx1850 had beast like work qualities, and i expect the 2360 to be even stronger.
hopefully, you have the loader valve on the machine from the factory/dealer,
if not (don't quote me on this, it's $600.00 for the valve and maybe $2300 for the front end loader. add on.
my growing kubota addiction is getting more costly, as i want to make the fel as functional as possible - so i will be adding a toothbar to the front bucket.
congrats on your new bx. i am so happy i was convinced to get the fel at purchase/contract time, it adds great utility to these sub compact utility tractors.
again, bravo and congrats . . . shrekbelly
