Kubota discounts to community organizations?

punxybill · Dec 19, 2006

We are currently looking to purchase a Kubota L2800HST with a Loader and turff tires for our VFW / Legion Baseball Field. I am shopping around for the best possible price and was wondering if Kubota offers a discount to non-profit community organizations? If so how would you proceed? I sent a Email to Kubota and asked about such a program but have not had a reply. Any info would be a help.

The only un-advertised discounts that I know of are for government agencies and multiple unit purchases.
Just but 2 and you can get a break.

yes, there is a non-profit discount. Its the same as the gov't bid program.

I recieved a negitive response to my email from Kubota but looked like a form letter. Can a dealer get through the system? Anyone ever had luck with this? If so what type of discount 1%...5%...???

You are correct Mr. Messick, I have egg on my face.

punxybill, you will have to check with your dealer, even if you got through to Kubota, they would refer you to a local dealer(s).

It varies with the exact series machine. Typicaly its a pretty substantial discount.

I was told 6% based on a chart from Kubota for non-profit organizations. This based on the B series-not sure about other series though. Funny thing is, I don't think he priced it to me as 6% off! time to follow up.

Two dealers have responded postitivey, and based upon your screen name, my bet is that you are in PA. One being in PA, so you might just start there, unless you are in a differant part of the country. Are you related to Punxsutawney Phil?

Lancaster is probably 3 to 4 hours east of here but if we need to travel we will.
People say we look alike but no, we are not related.
