Looking at Bad Boy Tractors, thoughts?

That's what these guys don't seem to get.

Are we just talking warranty repairs here? This guy seems to be shucking off all repairs for non-customers, even those he could bill full rate for.

Could be his repair load is such that he don't want or need any more. One thing I learned long ago and that is, if you take on more than you can chew, everyone gets pizzed off.

I guess you are another one who needs to be educated. lol

YES, Kubota does sell rebadged tractors...

SR

Not as of late they don't. They did way back when "Grey market', but not now. The only 'rebadged units they sell now are companies they own majority share in that produce machines and they sell them under the Kubota trademark.

Not little ones either. They are ag units.

Like the round bailer I just purchased. Says Kubota on the side panels, but it's actually a rebadged Kneverland as all their hay tools are. Kneverland is a respected name in implements and Kubota has purchased a controlling share of them. Just like Great Plains.

You'd get a charge out of my operators manual. been translated from Italian to English and like the earlier Kubota operators manuals, has some interesting verbiage in it.

When Kubota purchases controlli9ng interest in a company the do their homework first.

Dang what a bunch of whinney cry babies, I see and read hear almost daily of people driving hours and hundreds of miles to buy from a not local dealer. Sometimes they may save a thousand or so dollars on the initial purchase, and then turn around and expect a local dealer to perform the warrentty services on a unit he didn't sell and make any money on with a smile when he knows you passed him to buy elsewhere.
Then to top it off you expect the same smile and friendly service as the people who did purchase from him. Maybe some of you should stop and look at things from the other side of the counter.
I will travel to buy if unavailable locally and if the local dealer can't come close to the price, but a few hundred or a thousand dollars on a $20,000-$80,000 purchase isn't worth the time to travel.

EXACTLY Lou. Always get a kick out of people who travel hundreds of miles just to save a buck on a unit and then when issues arise and the local dealer isn't all wonderful and accommodating, they cry like little babies.

Like that old, well worn saying goes...

'You made your bed, now sleep in it'.

Not only the big tractors but also the smaller ones.

Like this one, made in India by ESCORTS with Mitsubishi engine:

That unit is not sold in the United States btw.

Funny, this reminded me of a store I was in that discontinued a product because they couldn't keep it on the shelves. They kept running out.
There are other ways to solve the problem besides turning away customers.

My final comment is... It's his choice, not yours to make. No point in being an armchair quarterback because he don't care one iota and I fully respect that.

Yep, why I am driving around on a Kioti instead of a Kubota.
