Super udt2 price shocker

[George the Beagle]

Time to change the trans fluid on my BX2370....Amazon is selling Super udt2 for $69.96. My local dealer, MB Tractor in Gorham, ME, has it for $26.75. I guess you know what I did. It's not often you come out of a Kubota dealership feeling like you've saved money.

Sounds like your dealers screwed something up real bad. That stuff is tough to find under $55.
$26.75????? whoopsie daisies!

Is that per gallon?

$26.75 would be close per gallon. I pay $55-$60 for a 2.5 gallon.
Maybe the OP thought Amazon was $69.96 per gallon? When it was really 2.5 gallon?

Nope. That price from a local dealer is pretty average. They buy it by the truckload. It’s similar to several other mail order tractor supply houses, but the freight on a few gallons via UPS, Fed Ex or other shippers will eat you alive. Messicks has 5 gals for about $113 but the freight to my location is another $80+. That’s still will less than the price from Amazon.

The price on Amazon is quite ridiculous.

5 gallon bucket of SUDT2 was $103.12 at a local dealership in February of this year.

Yes I know, that was a long time ago.....

Just checked. The Amazon price of $69.96 is for only ONE gallon.

OK I thought he was saying $26.75 for a 2.5 because the Amazon price led me to believe they were selling a 2.5 for $69.96.
$69.96 for a gallon of oil is ridiculous

When Kubota had $10/ 5 gal. discount coupons , I picked up 3 pails at $90 per.

My original post was the price per gallon. I mentioned the price difference to the parts manager and he though perhaps Amazon was trying to recoup shipping costs, who knows. The transmission filter, on the other hand, was $19.06, cough cough.

Amazon is full of re-sellers that buy the stuff at a dealer and try to flip it on Amazon. They are not often successful, but they prey on people that either dont check any other source, or are mis-lead and assume that they will get 2.5gl. As long as a re-seller sells the stuff for more than the MSRP, Amazon doesnt stop them

So did I.

I have 2 or 3 unopened pails on hand as well as 1 or 2 pails of engine oil.
