Barlows

[donn12]

I have to pass along how good the service is al Barlows. I sent Brady an email about the price of a 10" backhoe bucket one night, I said okay and when I came back from a trip 5 days later it was waiting for me. He is a complete pro. It tool all of 30 seconds to buy the bucket.

Contrast this to recently buying a hydro filter and fluid from a local place. 1st trip I needed a hydro filter and that was fine. They didn't tell me it had a trans filter - my fault but a pro might have caught it. 2nd trip to get the other filter...stood there for 5 minutes because they couldn't find a B2920 listed in the parts guide. Nice guy but pretty sure Kubota didn't make a B2620 or 2920. Not that big of a deal but it is a real pleasure to deal with someone that knows their product and their business top to bottom.

That's what I keep trying to tell these guys on here ! Some actually have the nerve to buy locally !

Seriously, its always a pleasure dealing with Barlows even if you don't end up buying from them.

Let's not generalize. I have no complaints about my local dealer about 7 miles from me from whom I bought my first Kubota in 1984. They are pretty competitive. They deal with local farmers more than amateurs like me and there is competition (another Kubota dealer) about another 20 miles away, so they have to stay on their toes.

I have to agree with the opinions voiced here that it is been a pleasure dealing with Brady @ Barlow Tractor.

 

[montelatici]

Definitely, based on the feedback, I would work with Barlows if I didn't have a decent local dealer about 10 minutes away.

 

[JOHNTHOMAS]

Me to. Oh...they are my local dealer and I've bought 11 from them in 6 years.

 

[lhberry]

Add me to the list also !!

Barlows will get my business again in the future. I bought my new tractor this summer and they were friendly, the price was fair, and when there was a small problem Brady worked it out with me and treated me straight up, honest and fair. I have three or four Kubota dealers within 1.5 hour drive and none of them came close to Barlows when I factored in cost, integrity, and professionalism. So Barlows is now my "local" dealer 300 mi away.

I'm not saying they don't know who I am but no picture on the wall or if they do they keep it covered up when I'm there. That may be it behind the dart board. They all seem to be great down home "Boys, guys, fellows" just trying to feed their families and make a decent living.
Stopped by today and took a picture of Steve and Gary.:laughing: Only a little over 95 degrees here today and almost 100% humidity. These pictures make me feel better.

Hey JT, I was down there a couple of weeks ago and picked up my trailer, and I coulda swore I saw a Sales Order on Steve's desk with your name already on it - just no equipment listed yet. When I questioned Steve about it he said "It just saves us some time"..... :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Rumor has it that all the guys at Barlows call the guy we know as JOHNTHOMAS "Uncle John":laughing::laughing::laughing:
