Franco, have you tried clicking on the link to Carver Equipment and checked their prices? It may or may not be cheaper with the shipping charges, but it sure gives you a place to start.

I bought at Ruwet-Sibley in New Milford at 12% of Kubota's list prices. I am very happy that I did, even though I could have gotten a slightly better price by buying in New York to save the sales tax.
I would like to strongly emphasize the importance of having a good and responsive dealer close to you. The initial tractor purchase is just the beginning of a long-term relationship. There are posters here who will advise you to buy wherever you can to save the last $50. I am not one of them. A good dealer is worth a lot over the long term.
My own experience is detailed at length in the Post-Purchase Depression thread. Essentially, I bought a BX and very quickly realized I had bought the wrong machine for my needs. My dealer took the BX back for a $14 per hour usage charge and sold me a 2910. What would I have done if I had bought by internet from North Carolina or from far away from some remote dealer! I'd still be sitting here with the BX -- unhappy. Then, I damaged my 72" mower deck the first day I used it. The dealer is 4 miles away. He picked it up and fixed it immediately for no charge.
We have now settled into an understanding that I will get 20% off on Woods products and at least 10% off on just about anything else. That is good enough for me. There is no hassle, I trust him, and I dont care about saving a few extra dollars from some more remote source. I just bought a Woods backblade from him and some more Freedom Hitches.
I also know Robert Wolf in Woodbury. He is one man operation, but should give you excellent prices as well as good service if you are geograhically near him.
If you have a dealer in your area who has a good reputation and whom you like, you should be able to negotiate a similar deal with him as with anyone. If you can, deal with him. I would say the dealer is more important than the brand. If the closer/better dealer had been the New Holland guy, I would now own blue.

Thanks guys, good advice about the dealer relationship and I am keeping that in mind as well as finding a good price. I spoke to Mr. Wolff for awhile told him Fred gave me the # and he knows you Fred 
he seems like a real nice guy to do business with I am seriously considering his offer for a for a B2710 at this point if I plan on buying in state but there are a few more questions I need to figure out and a few more places to try. This is my first tractor purchase and I'm trying to learn as much as I can.

Can't stress enough the importance of buying locally, from a capable dealer who shows they want your business by spending the necessary time with you. Shop for service--both before and after the sale as much as price. Went back and forth between buying out state vs local. Came down to seeing the service facility and staff and the assurance of taking care of any issues promptly. Spent about $800 more, and am sure glad I did. While I'm in the midst of a terrible problem (ref. B2710 trans shot post), the local dealer has been great, and has done everything he said he would do when I bought it. Can't imagine what I'd be going through if I had to deal with all this through an out state dealer or local service shop where I did not buy it. They just don't have the same motivation, your just a name and a voice over the phone.
B2710 is an awesome machine, you'll love it. Even with what I encountered, I am convinced it is a rare failure based on others' experiences, and have zero reservations about getting another one (assuming they will resolve the current problem fairly).
Good luck, and again, shop for service--both before and after the sale as hard as you shop for price.
