Topic

For several months I have been in the analysis and comparison phase of purchasing a new tractor and all of your postings have been extremely valuable in helping me make the final decision this past Saturday. <br>
<br>
I went back to one of the Kubota dealers I had spoken to earlier, but this time with two friends, both of whom were in about the same place in the decision process. One of the friends had owned a Kubota before and the other one was a first time Kubota dealer, like me. <br>
<br>
So, we bought not just 1 or 2, but 3 Kubotas (two B7800s and one B7610) on Saturday. It was great fun dealing on three tractors simultaneously and the salesman was willing to work with us. Yes, we did negotiate for hats (one for each of us and each of our horse-loving wives) and filters, as suggested by many of you, but also for extra blades and a gas can each. In addition, we were able to obtain additional discounts off some fair prices by waiving the carrot of three sales in front of the dealer.<br>
<br>
At least one delivery happened today and I am anxiously awaiting my new B7800 later this week. The other good news is that we each bought some different implements with the intention of sharing, which will provide some more reason to haggle in the years to come.<br>
<br>
All in all I haven't had so much fun and spent so much money doing so since I can't remember.<br>
<br>
Thanks for all your help in this decision.<br>

You guys are great. All the advice is very helpful. I have priced out a new JD 4115 and am suffering from a bit of sticker shock, but the dealer was very helpful. I passed on the 455, based on some research and the advice y'all had. Next I plan to compare the comparable Kubota to the JD4115 (which Kubota would be comparable?) and look at some used models on line, etc. The 4100 idea sounds good and I'll check out the 790 as well.

Thanks and I'll keep you up as the journey continues.
