I don't know about Kubota dealers, but when I bought my JD4300 I paid about 17% below list price. I live in central New York (Syracuse area). I think that I did pretty well for this area.

72% of all statistics are made up./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I wish I had a store in the Hudson Valley instead of upstate NY. I probably would be richer, We sell them for as a package for about the price of a tractor.

I just bought in CT

I just purchased a 2910 with loader and backhoe from my Connecticut dealer. He is a regular guy and was very knowledgable and straightforward about everything.

"I'm like most I suspect, if someone makes me a good deal, I take PLEASURE in the transaction and take PLEASURE in passing my experience along to others who might also be potential PLEASURE seekers at new tractor time"

It was a pleasure talking with Bob so I`m passing along my experience (as it should be). The name of the dealership (smaller but efficent operation) Woodbury Tractor Co. 1514 Main St. North in Woodbury CT. His Phone number (203)266-4845. Bob Wolff. I was originally considering the 2710 and I think he quoted my about $16,500 or $16,200 with the loader. (sorry can`t read my intial chickenscratch writing /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif). I can double check that if you want I will be talking to him about my incoming 2910 in the next few days. I had some less than pleasant encounters with other dealers some seemed that they were doing me a favor. I had to pursue them they could never get around to calling back and it was a bigger dealership.
I also shopped out of state (carver) and he gave me a good price and replied in a timely fashion. I didnt buy from Steve because woodbury is practically my backyard and they gave me a similar price without even seeing another quote.(My dad lives in NC and I sent him to Steve Carvers) I feel like I`m a commerical for woodbury tractor /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif. But like I said before isnt that the way it should be? Before there was TV; businesses relied on reputation and word of mouth (first and best commerical). Ok the soapbox is free. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I have friends and relatives that live in your neck of the woods and found the same thing. Kubota dealers with high prices and not willing to budge on the price. In the end they, one by one, did the best they could with the local dealers. They know they paid more but they wanted the support of the local dealer.
I lived in that area many years ago and everything costs more there. Even more than where I live in NJ today.

I too live in the Rochester Ny area and after looking locally without satisfaction purchased from Carver equipment and could'nt be happier. I have even subsequentially purchased filters and such from Carver's with the same pleasant experience.

Many MANY thanks for all your input. I will continue to participate in the forums while I continue searching to make my hard earned dollars count as much as anyone elses.

Happy holidays to all.

want local and good prices Robert Wolff aka tractorman is
only a couple hours from you in Woodbury CT and will
