Retired Marine nephew needs a tractor

JOHNTHOMAS · Jun 1, 2009

My neice and her husband a retired Marine built a home near me. It slopes pretty much upper left facing to lower right and also back. He now has grass in and needs a tractor. He has been considering a BX2360 MMM FEL. I recommended that to him a few months ago. He expressed some concern as to it's performance on his 2 to 3 sloping acres. Told him when he got ready I'd show him. He's ready so I took my BX2350 down this evening and let him try it out. He went over most of it and done some mowing. He didn't want to give it back.

He said "Yep, that'll do it". Course I just grinned at him and gave him the price quote I had gotten for him from Steve Barlow today while trying to negotiate a trade with Steve for myself. My next door neighbor is on his 2nd Kubota so if Nephew buys one and I'm sure he will then there will be 4 Kubota owners (man next door to neice/nephew has L3400) out of 7 houses. My brother next door has an orange one but it says Husquavarna on it as one of the other 7 also has. Our hill is covered with Orange even if 2 of them aren't real.

It's fun to watch someone experience the difference between a tractor and a riding mower.

I'm surrounded by 4 JDs but mine is the only lot with 3 Kubotas .
The JD guys Need 8 more JDs in the neighborhood to catch up with Kubota!

My nephew showed up today at Barlows Equipment and I met him there. Since I handled the sale

I got 2 hats and my nephew got a new BX2360 60"MMM FEL Loaded rear tires, R4's and a grill guard. His is still in the crate so will be delivered in 4 to 7 days. No, he did not do a test drive on the dealers lot. Actually I haven't either in 8 purchases but if my #9 deal goes thru on the BX2660 I'll test drive it for those that say to always test drive them on the dealers lot.

Maybe since they are John Deere, one is enough!

Even with 10 more JD's they still wouldn't be "caught up".
