New Sc2400

[GeaugaDeere]

Has anyone see pic's of the Cub/Yanmar Sc2400? Looks like the same size and set up as the Deere/Yanmar 2305, but in the Cub/Yanmar colors and with one wicked looking hood. I didn't see it on the Cub/Yanmar website, but saw in the latest edition of Diesel Power Magazine. Looks like a pretty nice set up and will probably cost a grand less than my JD2305!

I was out on the cub/yanmar site this weekend and still don't see anything on it. any word on when this tractor will be at dealers? looks interesting.

Geagua, where are you located? I'm in Bentleyville - between the police station and the JD dealership on Solon rd. How do you like your 2305?

They are supposed to start showing up at dealers in late March early April.

Mike5252 - I'm actually over in Auburn Township, but list Chagrin Falls as that is/was our mailing adress. I love the 2305, It's really amazing at all of the tasks I've been able to accomplish with it. I borrowed my neighbors New Holland TC18 several years back and decided I really needed one of these little SCUTs. Its kind of amazing at all of the home owners within a 2 mile radius that have these smaller types of tractors.

I move about 15 yards of mulch each spring, I've moved over 50 yards of topsoil and 40 tons of river rock since we paved the drive in 06 and 20 yard of woodchips and not one issue with the Deere. After moving all that material, I pop off the FEL and put on my mower deck and get a great cut.
I did buy this Deere right there at Chagrin Pet and Garden, I went to high school with one of their salesman's sons and they met the price I wanted them to be at. I changed all of the oil and hydro fluids to Amsoil last Spring and am very happy I did.

I had a GT225 I bought down south of Ravenna, but that dealership no longer exists. I sold the GT225 the same summer I got the 2305, and wish I still had it. The 2305 is much heavier than my little GT was and really leaves tire marks when the grounds a little soft.

Sounds like we'll be getting some real intersting weather tonight too...might get to plow snow tomorrow.

Back on the Sc2400 - I cannot find this tractor on the web either, only pictures I've seen are from my Diesel Power Magazine (A free trade publication). It looks to be mechanically identical to the 2305 but in the Cub/Yanmar Black and Gold and with a very aggressive looking hood and front clip. I don't know why a Cleveland Based Company (MTD) would use Pittsburgh Steeler colors though....

Geauga,

I am a cub dealer and had a chance to put one of these to the test in ky at a dealer meeting in oct. Great unit. I also sell Kubota and thought the cub would be a good addition to our lineup of equipment we sell in New Jersey. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Nice looking little mower. Is that a Limited Edition Pittsburgh Steelers lawnmower?

 

[wojnaroski]

Al, any idea on pricing for the new sub cuts yet? I have a 5254 and am interested in the fel. Any idea if cub is going to dump the attachments for the 5000 series or will they fit the new machines?

Thanks Alan

 

[casolorz]

Is this expected to be on the same range of the 5000s cub cadets? that would put it pricing below 10K right! that would be awesome.

 

[CCinCT]

List for the SC2400 is $10,599, FEL is $2200. Don't know what the decks will cost.

After reading all the news about the SC2400, we decided to order one sight unseen back in December. I finally got to see it and drive it at the dealer on Saturday, and I was very impressed. The dealer still has to do his final prep, and we hope that it will be delivered tomorrow or Thursday.

From what I could see, the machine is well built and quite well thought out. I'll be able to report more on it once it arrives and I've had a chance to put it to work.

The first tasks will be to clean up after the horses from the winter and then to regrade a few hundred feet of gravel drive.

I'll post again once I have the machine...

Gosh I would love to get one. The cub dealer here has even heard of them, I wonder how I can get close to one and have it serviced, etc.
Also is anyone seeing dealers give any good deals on them or is it so new they won't go below msrp?

One of the great aspects of the Cub/Yanmar joint venture is that dealers have a lot more wiggle room than they do with Cub (MTD). So yes, you'll see many going below MSRP.

Thats good to know. I dont mind buying the tractor out of my city or even out of state, I just worry about who will service it? will regular cud dealers service it?

Technically, yes, any Cub dealer can service them. However, my understanding is that if they're not an "authorized Cub/Yanmar Dealer", they can't perform warranty work on the tractor (or if they do, they won't get reimbursed by Cub/Yanmar). I believe in order to become an authorized dealer, they need to order at least 10 tractors.

The Cub-Yanmar is a seperate company and contract. Parts are not available to regular independent Cub Division Dealers.

A regular dealer could form a relationship with a Cub Yanmar dealer though.

I wasn't able to see your image.

I emailed cub cadet yanmar asking them about dealers on my area, or what I could do for warranty work and they never replied.

 

[EmerichSales]

Yeah thats how I found the closest dealer almost 3 hours away. I was just hoping they would email me and say actually this dealer in your city can service them or something.

At least the 300 miles gives me several answers now.
