Buying Advice B3350 Purchase?

[Damato1981]

I have been shopping for a new tractor for a few months and had my mind pretty much set on getting a B2650. I just got a quote from my dealer and he will sell me the B3350 with 60" MMM, Q/A bucket, brush hog, and forks for $23,800. He'll sell the B2650 for $23,500 set up the same way. The B3350 appears to be a great deal, but I am concerned about the emissions issues on this model. Has Kubota got all of the bugs worked out yet?

I have a quote for a 2650 for $19,900 not including taxes and Ktac. B2650 Rops with filled R4s, SSQA loader, 5 foot RC, forks, box blade and LP quick hitch. Is your 2650 a cab model?

My quotes are for ROPS models, not cabs.

I just got a new L4701 with a QA LA765, 6' cutter, and pallet forks for $23,750.

I think they've got some wiggle room.

I know he can do better on the B2650 price. But the B3350 price is 24% off list by my calculations. That seems like a good deal. I am concerned about the emissions problems. The dealer says the problems have been solved, but what else is going to say, he wants to sell the machine.

I have seen some pretty smoking deals on the 3350. I think there are members here who have that particular tractor and its been problem free. There are others however that seem to have been total nightmares. I guess the question is whether the up front savings is worth any potential problems down the road. I am sure those who own this particular model will chime in.

I looked at the 3350 but after reading all the complaints I have narrowed down my choices to the L2501 and B2650.

I signed the paperwork last evening. I purchased a B2650 with Loader with Q/A, forks, 72" MMM, and a brush hog for $22,500. I think it ended up being a pretty good deal. I debated long and hard about getting the backhoe, I hope I don't regret not getting it, but it is a pretty expensive option for what it is. Now I just have to wait until it gets delivered.

I have a B2650 being delivered tomorrow, too.
When I went out for quotes to a few fairly local dealers, One of them came back with a non-solicited quote on a B3350SU with loader for $18,900 with an additional $1000 cash rebate. Seems like they are trying to blow these out. I wasn't really interested in a B3350 (particularly the SU) but I called him just to see if it was an earlier Serial #. Turns out it was a more recent production vintage, but I wonder if they are having a hard time selling them...?
I ended up buying from the most local dealer. I'm not sure if your price included tax or not, but sounds like a pretty good deal considering the implements you got with it.
I am getting a B2650 ROPS, Loader and 60" light material bucket with QA, 60" Land Pride Box Scraper and 58" RTR (Reversing) tiller for about $22.8K out the door. Maybe could have done a little better, but feel pretty good about it.

Have fun with the tractor and post your impressions here. I will do the same.

I'm subscribing. I'm looking at a B2650 and was quoted with a FEL and 60"MMM and a 50"land pride tiller $23150 I think I can get a better deal. Where are you guys getting quotes from. I will share where I got my quote from as long as it's not against any forum rules.

My quotes came from dealers in North East PA and one in Southern NY. I ended up purchasing from the one in NY. I have done business with this dealer in the past and he is very close to my office. He wasn't the lowest quote, but he was competitive and he is the most convenient for me when I need service.

I am hoping to have the tractor delivered this by the end of this week, the wait is killing me.
