I 'phoned the dealer in Blackburn but the Kubotas had gone, I will keep his number for future reference though. Which dealer did you buy from? I thought that I could maybe give them a call sometime.

Got the tractor as you may have guessed from my lack of posts, its great!!!!!!! It goes everywhere i need it to go, I have been up hills down valleys, its perfect, better than I even imagined. So thanks everyone for your help as with such little knowledge of my own on tractor my purchase was entirely based on the information you all gave me. Please keep in touch via this page and I will keep you all updated. Thank you all again, going back to play with my new TOY!!! LOL

Re: Wrong Tractor??????

Thanks Bird, /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif I am probably quite a bit different from what you may imagine /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif . I think some of you guys simply do not understand me. I relish verbal combat of course sometimes but it is obvious that in this case the salesman, who was selling washing machines last week, and used cars next week was just trying to make Richard feel badly /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif about his purchase. Richard, you should thank him and be sure to tell him you will not keep him in mind for any additional purchases.
Hope you enjoy your tractor, either one would have been an excellent choice for your described needs.
J,
looking forward to the day I grow up and can have a big tractor like all the big boys /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif.

Richard,

Glad to hear you got a BX - I'm sure you'll be happy with it. My first experience of Kubotas was actually using their mini-excavators at a small quarry up in the Pennines - it's a long story. They rightly have the reputation of being near bullet-proof.

The one thing you might consider before the long dark and misty northern winter sets in is some work lights that you can mount on your ROPS. Trying to get the chores done on the tractor when it's dark until 9am and dark again at 3:30pm can be a bugger.

All the best,

Patrick

I forgot to add - that salesman is full of the proverbial - he's just playing games with you. I think you'll find plenty of testimonials to the 'can-do' of the BX2200 on this board. If you have an issue feel free to ask.

As they say in your neck of the woods - "there's nowt queer as folk"!!

Richard, Richard, Richard, so glad to hear how happy you are with your new tractor, but if my wife hears that it is a TOY, I am in big trouble./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif You must remember, here on the forum we are not playing with our toys, we are working with our tractors to make life better for our wives/husbands./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Congratulations!!! Keep us up to date with your projects and questions.

Re: Wrong Tractor??????

Thanks, Richard. It is a sad day indeed when something like that happens. I'm afraid we've been too complacent too long.

Re: Wrong Tractor??????

As FDR said many years ago, "this is a day that will live in infamy". There is now a thread going in "Off topic" (world trade center), as this is about as far as off topic as I can think of.

Our lives have changed forever.
