newtattoobob,

GET A REFUND OF YOUR DEPOSIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS AN OMEN!!!!!
If it's like this now, what is it going to be like when you need service or a warranty repair.

I'm sorry sir but our shop is busy so if you leave your tractor we can change the oil some time in the next 6 months or so. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

After many years I finally learned to "listen to my gut". When my "gut" tells me a deal is going badly I back off.

BRIGUY is right. If they are treating you like this now what kind of service will you get after they have all your money? If they can't get a new tractor ready to deliver in 3 weeks you can expect to wait 3 weeks (or more) to get it back if you have to have any service done in the future.

You don't say where you live, but if there is another Kubota dealer within a reasonable distance I'll bet he will match or beat those guys prices and after you tell him what happened he will get one ready for you in a reasonable length of time.

I am about to order a BX2230 and you post reminds me that I will want the delivery date specified in writing on the order.

After this amount of time best case is that they are missing part of your tractor or it was damaged in shipping. Either way they are lying to you. Not a good thing.

Thanks for all the replys. Tomorrow during my lunch hour I will call the two other dealers that are around me,(about 50miles from me in opposite directions) I was really hoping this dealer would come through because they are only about 8 miles from my house and everyone else I have talked to in the area has had a good expeirence with them. Thanks Bob

I think thats a good idea Bob. Call them and tell them everything that happened at your dealer. They might say... "I've heard that about them before," or they might say "we're in the same boat." Heck... one of those dealers may give you a better deal! I don't know if you will do scheduled maintenance yourself, but if so, it's not like you'll have to deal with them that often anyway. Kubota makes a great tractor.. I dought you'll be hauling it back and forth those 50 miles all the time! That is providing you will do your own oil changes, filters, etc.

Make them make you happy... you're spending hard earned money.

What was the final 'ending' to this problem? Curious, and did you buy 'down the road' or did the dealer get crackin and prep your tractor within the three weeks?

Hope the relationship with the dealer has gotten better.
