Purchase experience with Barlow Equipment

JOHNTHOMAS · Mar 23, 2016

Bought my first tractor from them about 12 years ago, a BX2200 FEL MMM. Have bought and traded around 20 more from them since then with a settled on price a couple of days ago for a B2650 FEL SSQA and SSQA 60" bucket Rear filled tires and extra Hyd attach for front and going to ask for chain hook to be added to front bucket top and believe they will do it for no additional cost

. OK, delivery is only 7 miles to my house or 2 miles to my business but I do have to pay Ky state sales tax on the trade difference when a trade of full 6% if it's a straight purchase with no trade in.
Their delivery charge is based on the ones they deliver so if other people in your area or in between you and them have items delivered the charge is divided amongst everyone is my understanding.

Going the distance to the West Coast probably wouldn't pan out...

I seem to remember an older thread where someone in Washington bought one.

But you could probably use a good summer drive from Kentucky to California

Would love to make the trip... the smaller 500 RTV would fit in the back of the pickup... as long as I had everything secured... too many friends traveling cross country stayed overnight somewhere only to find their trailer broken in or the entire rig gone... really sad state.

Did a Coast to Coast when I flew to Charlottesville Virginia to drive home a 1968 Z28 Camaro to California... stopped along the way to see the sights... great trip... just could have used A/C!

Had my brother call the volume Kubota Dealer here in Washington yesterday and he was told they would not sell to him... sent an e-mail to T.C. at Kitsap Kubota to see if this is on the level... lots of my neighbors have nothing but good to say about Kitsap Tractor and Equipment in Silverdale... does sound very strange especially since their website is very aggressive.

Say what? Why not?

BTW, it hurts nothing to give Barlows a call or email and ask the price. They will get you a quote including shipping if you give them an address. Just beware that any "dealer boo-boos" like I had will be hard to get remedied...

Hey, John, I'm curious. What price did you get it for (the B2650)?

Ok, just do plan B and buy in Oregon with no sales tax.

Only dealings I've had with Barlow's is filters and oil, but their a top notch outfit in my book.

Barlows delivered my B2650 FEL SSQA 2 bucket hooks, R4s loaded rear tires, added front hydraulics and at the last minute I added a 50" rear turn Landpride tiller. Back to a Kubota tractor and out of the skid steer which is now at Barlows.
