BX 2380 Pricing

[steveky]

Got a price from local dealer. Drove 40 miles to another and wow. $1000 lower. I was surprised there was that much difference in price. I've bought mowers from the local guy and they just don't negotiate at all. I'll just do a little driving for that price.

It seems you are like me, I would much rather deal with my local dealer, but sometimes it doesn't work out. When I bought my bx2680 the local dealer was over a $1000.00 more. Bought that tractor from Barlows. But when I purchased my F2690 I was able to purchase from my local dealer. My rule of thumb is I would pay 2-300 more from local dealer just to keep it local, but it is money in my pocket also. Good luck on whomever you buy from.

I agree with going local for a few hundred. Went with the dealer with best price on this deal. They will be delivering it on Monday.

Very nice machine!! I need one about the same as yours. How much did you end up giving for it?

How do you like the 2380? I am currently looking at the same thing, 2380 with 60” mmm and R4 tires.

What kind of price is your dealer giving you?

 

[wmonroe]

He is at $12,800 (before tax) for a bx2380, loader valve (no loader), one rear remote, and 60” standard MMM.

i see your location. so, you bought your new BX from Barlows? how did that work out for you? did you spend a day and go get it, or did he deliver it? i take it, you'll use your local kubota dealer if it needs in-house service?
Barlows is WAY cheaper than my local guy, which is surprising because the local guy is huge with about 5 stores.. would obviously like to stay local, but a couple thousand difference is huge

Yes I bought from Barlow’s, the process was very simple and almost all done by email. I had them deliver the tractor for two reasons: first, I was out of state working and second, it was only about $200 more than it would have cost me in fuel. If it needs service I’ll use my local dealer but I don’t anticipate any issues.

i had planned on going to use Barlow's, but gave the local dealer 1 last chance. he matched Barlow's quote TO THE PENNY. boy was i surprised. so, by the end of next week, will have a new bx2380, fel, 60"mmm, and a 3rd function. can't wait.

Buying local has it's upside.
I recently hit 45hrs on my L3301, about the same time bumped a stump with the left side tie rod.
There was a weeping hydro fitting on the loader. Limbs were threatening to take out the front end when using the grapple.
Dropped the tractor off Tuesday afternoon at the Dealer (who I bought it from). Wednesday afternoon they called to tell me it was ready. They did the 50hr service, fixed the leaky fitting, welded expanded steel across the brush guard. replaced tie rod (took one off a new tractor) and washed it. All while I was on a trip with my wife.

A good local dealer is a wonderful thing. My local shop seems just to do enough but it isn't satisfying. I tried buddying up and giving them repeat business but they are 'sticks in the mud'. Except for the couple young ladies there... they are actually trying hard to provide good service, but are getting tainted by the LTers (long timers).

What dealer did you use. I have a buddy looking to purchase the same tractor. Thanks
