Another Bota Purchased Today

JonLeonard · May 18, 2002

I make the third or fourth today to post....I finally bought a tractor /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

B2410
Folding ROPS
R4s
60" MMM

I paid $12750 for the above then added a bush hog 70-06 rear blade for an additional $650.

After having looked at tractors for about 8 years, its great to finally have it on the way. Kind of scary to spend almost as much on a tractor as I did on my last car though /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif Hopefully it will last a LONG time.

Thanks for all the questions everyone has answered over the past year. Im sure Im just getting started though on the questions.

Congrat on your new B2410. It is a great little tractor. It is kinda curious how many B2410's have been purchased lately. When I off loaded my new First Choice aerator which weighs about 300 lbs or a few pounds less the driver wanted to know how "I" as in "you" was going to get it off the truck--well a B2410 plus a KK boom pole and a chain and it was off in a jiffy.
My 2410 surrounded by some of it's friends. J

One of the dealers here has had 2 2410s on his lot for over a year. They sell alot of 7500s and then people jump up to L3010s, or at least thats what the salesman told me.

The 2410 is an excellent little tractor, or so it seems, Ill let you know /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif The $500 higher rebate over the 7500 let me look at it more seriously. Im sure if the rebate had been $700 on the 7500 instead of $200 the price difference would have made me get the 7500 instead.

Still have to wait for the loan approval and such to go through, so cross your fingers. I really hope to have it by the weekend, Ive got tons of work lined up.

I just got confirmation that kubota credit has approved the financing /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif They are doing a dealer search now for the tractor with the equipment I wanted.

Im still on schedule to have it before the weekend, so Im VERY happy. Now if I can just survive the next few days.

congrats JON: they should be able to get u a machine real quick. while u are waiting just think of all the work that u need to get done. let us know when u get it.

Well they couldnt locate one withing 200 miles with R4s and a folding ROPS. So they ordered one from Georgia.

I still have a shot at getting it this weekend though. The dealer told me that Kubota uses a shipper that only moves tractors for them, its their sole business. He said that my tractor should be on a truck either today or Wednesday. The trucks carry "sold" tractors for a number of dealerships, so it just depends where on the list the dealer is for the drop off.

I should find out today when I will get it.
