Does anyone know of any First Choice dealers in NY State? Would appreciate phone numbers, names, and addresses if available. I E-mailed First Choice several months ago in regard to this info and also requested brochures, catalogs, or literature on their products, but received no reply or literature. This lack of response on their part has me even wondering if I should even be inquiring about their products, and also that it might just be a warning sign.

From what I've seen... the company is brand new... and appears to bend over backwards for potential customers...
Perhaps, a glitch happened a few months back... I'd try again... they really seem to be very accommodating... you may also try an 800 number and talk direct... (do a search on TBN for it?)
A new dealer for them is located in Sharon Springs, NY - MacFadden's Equipment...
Good luck.

Woodyed,
If you call, please post back here. I would be interested in that list, too. Would like to see their rear blade and possibly RFM, in person.

I'm not sure if the email "bsi.pieter@simflex.com" works. I also sent an email about a month ago, no response. Will wait till next spring begin search for box blade again.

Yes they just introduced a new line of rotary cutters in July.
JohnS,
Called them today and was informed that they have no literature or cataloges as of this date. The person I spoke to also stated that if they did, that the prices for their implements would be higher. The only info and specs for their products are contained on their website, which is greatly lacking, especially in the spec department, in my opinion. I also found out that the nearest dealer to me is about 90 miles away. I've suddenly lost much interest in their products.

My first order as a dealer for First Choice should be coming in tomorrow. I will post again after I get a chance to look everything over.

Tractorman, as a dealer, why don't you put your name and email address in your profile. You know, just in case someone on impulse might want to buy an L3130 from you, with quik attach 4n1 bucket, 9 1/2' Kubota hoe, hydraulic toplink, wide turf tires, and a 72" First Choice rfm.

And post what models of rear blades you received, if any.

Tractorman (Bob Wolff) is located in northwest CT and can give you very good deals and honest info on Kubota tractors and various third party implements. His computer savvy seems to be a little suspect, however. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

JohnS,
I have seen most of their line first hand. All is first quality. Very stout, very nice paint, powder coated. They have built things based on the complaints of others. Jim and Pieter have listened to alot of people here as to what they DON'T like about their equipment.
They are a fairly new manufacturer and will have set backs on production quantity now and then, I believe. No, I do not work for them......./w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif
I understand they do not "publish" a dealer list on the 'net yet, but they will in time I expect. Brochures also cost money. Money spent on the brochures will drive the prices up. They want to sell a quality product at a good price.
All this is just my opinion of their company after meeting them this summer.

I won't be purchasing till the spring, but if there was a NY dealer that had a rear blade, would try to stop in before that. I don't care much for brochures. They can just make some downloadable ones and people can suck their ink cartrages dry! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif I am interested in how well the offset capability works. Looks like you can get an extra foot to one side, when you want to grade a small bank down or clean ditches without getting too close to the edge. I have some dozer trails that could be put to use.
