Modre,
It is not the greatest, but you can use this page on the Kubota site to find some dealers near you. It would be better if it listed them all within a radius, but to find more dealers you need to type in different zip codes...
I am over near I79, north of the Ohio river...I bought mine at Smart Equipment, 22410 Perry Hwy. Zelienople, PA 16063
Hope this helps... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

modre,
I also have been visiting local Kub dealers lately. I'd highly recommend Artman's near Apollo. Was just there yesterday and he has 5 or 6 on the lot. Unique old fashioned type dealership. Talk to the owner, Bob. He seems to be a straight shooter. He's like Saturn - no haggling. He gives you his best price up front.
I visited Golden Eagle (formerly Laspina) several weeks ago. They wanted about $17,500 (can't remember exact price) for theirs and they would NOT budge on price. I did not get a warm, fuzzy feeling when I left that place. They've been in business for 25+ years and sell a lot of machines, but I still haven't figured out how!!! Personally, I don't care for them, but you may.
If you're into long distance buying, you may want check out Messicks in Elizabethtown, PA. He also is a straight shooter IMO and will give you a quote via email.
Happy hunting....
BTW, thanks for the info on the South Hills dealer. I was going to visit him this week, but probably will not based on your comments.

Bucky4.. If you are considering a CUB have you checked out Labuda near Herminie (Clay Pike)? I was there on Friday and he had a Cub 5000, diesel with a deck and loader for around $12,000. He also had some 7000s displayed out front. I bought a Wheel Horse from them and was very satisfied with their price and helpfulness. Tom is the one that runs the tractor sales. He is the owners son; I suspect he is also part owner. He's a nice guy and pleasant to deal with. They are much better than Golden Eagle to deal with.

jwe,
Thanks for your input. I know Labuda's very well. Back in the late 80's & early 90's, I was cutting grass as a sideline job and had a Cub. I really abused that little tractor and it didn't hold up to the punishment. It seemed that I made a weekly trip (sometimes more) to Labuda's for parts. I can't fault the tractor because I used it where it really wasn't designed to be used. No major problems, just belts, pulleys, chains, brackets, and small annoying things like that.
Yes, I totally agree with you; they are great people. I really like those kind of mom & pop dealers. You're probably going to pay more upfront, but they WILL be there when you need them.
On the subject of Golden Eagle, I'll just say that I will never step into their showroom again. Never liked them when they were Laspina's and I certainly don't care for the new mgmt. either!
As for the Cubs, I really didn't think they made anything large enough for my needs, so I never gave them a look see. Initially, I was considering a B21, but I recently discovered it won't be large enough for the landscaping implements I need to run. I've been looking at the L series now for a little more HP.
