The owner took a 0%/36 month loan through Kubota and is still paying it off. Can anyone recommend how I would deal with that? I assume he has to pay off the loan before he can sell the tractor. Would we give him a check or the dealer? Also, I haven't bought a tractor before, but I don't imagine there's a title or anything like that, so do I just use a standard bill of sale?

You would pay him a personal check/bank check and have them pay off Kubota Credit, then your bill of sale with serial # (no VIN#s on tractors) and probably copies of his original paperwork would all that you need.

Best regards, nice machine.

Be careful, if you pay him & he neglects to pay Kubota, guess who owns "your" tractor? Not you! Kubota credit does. I would first payoff Kubota & pay him the balance.

Find out his payoff(owner can print an official payoff letter from kubota credits website for the amount owed on his account) Issue a check to kubota credit for the payoff, then issue a seperate check to the owner for the difference.

Thanks for the advice all. I put $500 down on it tonight and I have a bill of sale. I'll handle the payment like you suggested.

The tractor looks and sounds great, but I did make the contract contingent on a satisfactory inspection at the dealer. Would any of you recommend that I get it inspected? I don't know machines very well.

The deal included a 6' Woods bush hog and a 5' Woods box blade.

I just have to find a way to get it home now.

Make sure that the 50 hr. service was done. Maybe there is someone locally that uses this site that can help with transportation home with maybe a swing by a dealer for a check-up, though I can't imagine what might be wrong with it with so few hours.
Congratulations and hope it all works out. Now that the looking is over you can start to have some fun!

What would be a good price on a 300 mile delivery for the tractor, bush hog and box blade?

GeeDub,
You got a great deal. I wish you the best of luck. I have an 06 L3130, 4x4 and HST. I know you will enjoy it!

Good luck getting it home!

Thanks podunkadunk, I'm glad you like yours. Ours gets here today!

rpraymond, I called the dealer who sold the tractor and they serviced it at 50 hours which cost around $500.
