What makes a good product better

[4shorts]

Simple, the dealership and the people who work there.

This morning Mrs. 4shorts and myself headed into the city to buy our fourth Kubota product since 2008. I'll admit that the first Kubota (Grand L 4240C) was purchased because of the Kubota name BUT the next three machines were purchased because of the fine people who work and run Newfoundland Kubota and as they say on Duck Dynasty "That's a fact Jack"

We arrived and went into the showroom. We were greeted by a lovely receptionist saying "Good Morning" then we seen Todd Fisher. He's one of Newfoundland Kubota's Sales Representatives and the guy who sold us our first Kubota and every other one since then. As Todd was talking to us Darcy Tucker who is the companies GM and sales rep. came over and shook hands with us. As customers my wife and I are always impressed with the professionalism these guys have and are great representatives of the Kubota product line.

Our new BX25D was sitting there on the showroom floor and I know how much everyone here enjoys a few photos and seeing I do so much bragging about our Kubota dealership I talked Darcy and Todd into a photo moment Darcy is left, Todd on the Right

Now on to the tractor. We paid for the machine but never took delivery yet because the guys got the Kubota QC system, the tool box and the mechanical thumb ordered plus we're in no rush for the machine because its not going to be used until this coming spring. I did ask the guys about the optional rear fender Kubota lights but they didn't have a listing on them but said they would check on them and get back to us.

I also asked about the rubber pads that go on the backhoes outriggers and low and behold they had them sitting on the floor. After seeing them I knew it was an easy build but the guys gave us a good buy on them so we bought them as well.

As I usually do, I've included some photos for your viewing pleasure. When the guys do get the machine out to us the mods will start and I'll use this same thread to show them.

I have a birthday in a few weeks so my lovely wife got this BX for me. What a great wife and thanks to Darcy and Todd for making this purchase like all the others a very pleasant experience for us.

Happy New Year everyone.

Thanks Roger. Yep it should be handy to have around. Just got tired of a pick and shovel. They don't call this island "The Rock" for nothing. Yes it's a great dealership. The way people are today and the net being what it is we hardly ever hear the good stories. Seems when folks are mad about something they just let it spill all over the net but if something or someone does a good job they won't take the time to say thank you and that's sad. This is why I wanted to give our local Kubota dealership a very high thumbs up :thumbsup:

Man I can't get that tool box to stay upright

Looks like you have a great dealer!

Where did they get the vac and toolbox?

 

[kcender]

Home Depot sells that toolbox online for 599 dollars.They also sell the identical toolbox with the Husky name, painted black, for 299 dollars.A lot of money for an orange paint job.

Thanks man. Oh my mind is full of ideas for this little machine. Just wish they'd make a tractor I wouldn't have to mod I know that will never happen

Oh come on Paul, you'd be bored to death if you had a tractor that didn't need modifying. :laughing:
