Not sure how close you are to RI, but when I got mine i bought it from Pat's Power in Charlestown, RI.

Natem, I bought my 20 hst in 2008 and it has not needed to see a dealer. I did the 50 hour at home, messy but doable. All parts and accessories are available from on line dealers. The dealer I bought from changed brands a year after I bought my tractor from him. I was not happy about that since I felt I would be required to have service at a dealer I did not buy from, however that has not been an issue. So far.
The price from out of state to in state was easily $2500 lower, if you include the 6% tax savings, it was close to $4500 less. Now the freight ate up some of that, but even a 1-2 dollars a mile for delivery, you can easily go 1,000 mile to the mid west or New Hampshire and still be way ahead of the game.

I am from CT and bought it in RI and saved the tax Which was great. How ever in the three years I had mine I had to bring it to the dealer for warranty issues a few times. So having the dealer close was nice.

Got a price today $17500. Way cheaper than a green tractor, pulling the trigger within a week, just gotta pull the funds together.

you will not be disappointed, more weight, all iron parts*, more lift capacities than most of the competition in the hp class. Do your maintenance by the book (buy the service manual too) and your repair cost will be zero(except for your oopses!!!) Ask a Kioti (or Bobcat) service mgr how much warranty work they do compared to other brands they carry.
BTW , awesome price , I paid $15k for mine used with 47hrs on it in 2004, list was $20k at the time.
* go to JD or Kubota forum and search for broken trans and axle threads.!
