New BX22 on the way

Anonymous Poster · Apr 23, 2003

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for about three weeks now ... soaking up all the good information here. I just purchased a BX22 from Booth Machinery in Crawfordsville Indiana yesterday. The base BX22 TLB was $14,798. I also got the 40 amp alternator for $165, a woods 40" tiller for $1,529, a toothbar for the FEL for $230, and 3 hooks welded on the FEL for free. Total cost was $16,722. I feel like a got a really good deal. My salesmen was Gary Booth ... he was super to work with. So far so good. The tractor will be delivered Saturday, or early next week (waiting on the alternator) and the tiller and toothbar will take about 2 weeks. My big problem now is trying to figure out how to get some sleep and concentrate at work until the tractor arrives! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Howdy, we are in the same boat, although I guess on the east coast they are a bit more pricey. I paid 15,500 for the TLB plus the FEL toothbar, hooks welded on the FEL and delivered. One good thing about living in Delaware is there is no sales tax. They are delivering it on Friday, man I cant wait.

Well, I've been hoping my tractor would be delivered on Saturday (tomorrow). I called my dealer today and he said that he had received the alternator shipment from Kubota, but that instead of containing the alternator, the box contained a rear light kit. He said that he called up Kubota and they are FedExing the alternator overnight with Saturday delivery! Hopefully they will be able to install it and deliver the tractor tomorrow!

Too bad to hear that. Having to wait on something once you've decided to buy it is bad enough, but then when you think your getting it and something like that happens, it makes it that much harder. Patience isn't one of my stronger points! Well I'm sure once she arrives, you still won't be sleeping because you'll be up thinking about what your going to do with her the next day.

Watch out the wife gets tractor envy.........

Have them throw in the rear light kit for the wait! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

In some ways I need a larger tractor, but gotta say after using the tractor most of yesterday and part of today, I found myself thinking I would be very sad to see it go! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
