Topic

Brad Dionne,I did a lot of research,it took me several months.Like I said on the prior posting I talked to a lot of people,most of them have been working tractors all their lives.Very many of them have bigger tractors and were very loyal to their brand but all agreed that if they were on the market for a compact they would look at Kubota real hard.Everybody refered to them as dependable,they knew somebody who had one and were real pleased,etc.I also liked the fact that Kubota makes all of the components on the tractor themselves.The tractor seems very solid to me and it's probably overkill right now but later down the road I'll be happy I got the bigger tractor.I also looked at the BX models but tought than in a few years would probably had to replace it with something a little bigger.After I drove the B7500 I never looked again at the JD4100,I liked it better or it felt better,if you will.The dealer made a big difference also,he was very attentive,spent all the time with me that I needed and did not pushed for any specific model,I drove them all,he's also a NH dealer so you know I spent a lot of time there.I quized him with a few questions and expectecions that me as a customer will want from my dealer and he was right on time on everything.I expect to keep my tractor for a long time so there will be plenty of time if I choose the right dealer but at this time I have no reason whatsoever to doubt the man.For now I just have to wait until Monday to get delivrey of the tractor and enjoy.I hope I was of any help to you,feel free to ask again if you want me to elaborate more on the topic. PS.You can never go wrong with a tractor that's painted CHEVY orange.

First I'll like to thank B.Senter,Jim Youtz and MD for your helpfull comments.I visited another seven dealers on a 60 miles radius to get a better feel for the different styles and approaches from the sales people.I concluded that as far as the big picture goes I'm willing,if needed, to pay a little more for the tractor if I'm treated fair.I drove some 35 miles to find a Kubota dealer in Albemarle,NC,the business end of the building was very small but the service area appear to be ample,they had a very large lot and a good selection of models in both Kubota and NH.While I waited for the salesman a few people bought some parts,an older fellow was looking for one(1) plug wire, he's been everywhere but could not find just one wire,the man behind the counter told him that he only carried sets but called out for the mechanic who in turn went back in the shop and found a used but good wire,gave to the man and did not charge him a dime.I was impressed I thought people didn't do things like that any more.When I showed at the place I did not wear my Sunday best and did not shave that morning,the way I figured, with my accent(Puerto Rico),and not looking my best if the man treats me with respect and is straightforward with me I'll be willing to do business with him with no problem,by the way,don't blast me for my tactics I've been buying and selling old clunkers for a long time and some people will take a look and dismiss you because you don't fit their idea of the preferred customer.With that said I almost forgot to mention that they had a new B7500HSD with 54inch belly mower that cought my attention, they gave me a price wich I can live with,I'll probably buy it but there are two other dealers that treated me right also so I'll be going to them with that quote on that model to see if they can do better.Again thank you for your input,I'll keep you posted.
