Rear Remotes

LSU L4330 · May 13, 2014

Thanks for this writeup. :thumbsup: That is a very clean install.

So if I am understanding this correctly the full three remote setup was $1538 from Kubota dealer? Also, sorry may be a dumb question but what is Whole Goods Pricing?

It was $1795 before taxes.
I was baffled by the whole Whole Goods thing, too.
I believe that the dealerships keep the sales of parts & consumables separate from tractors, implements, etc.
So the remotes would be "etc."; not parts, on their books.

It was a painful payment, but I'm very glad I did it. The tractor is much more useful, now.
It makes using forks, rear blade, box blade on the 3 point hitch much, much easier and time efficient.

I don't have much free time when it's light out and the ground is sufficiently dry to work, so making the best use of that time is of great value to me.

So you just tell the dealership to give you Whole Goods pricing and they give you a discount? Is it a percent off?

I would like to understand so when I am at the dealership I can at least sound like I know what I am talking about.

Whole goods is just a list of accessories available for your tractor. FEL, Buckets, tire options, remotes, factory TNTs, 3rd functions, draft controls are examples of what's included as whole goods.

You can't get from the parts dept, you usually have to talk to a salesman. It's up to them if they give you a discount. I'm not sure they negotiate them. I checked 3 different places for my remote prices and they were all different but were set prices.

YMMV
