I went to my dealer today to replace the front wheels on my B2710.

First stop was the sales guy; I asked him about getting whole goods pricing on these...he said "no, just go to the parts desk".

I told him I've heard the Sales department can get better pricing. He said "nope, parts is over there".

Did I ask the wrong question?

Can anyone price check R4 front wheel assemblies for my tractor? Kubota P/N 32721-50500.

You must have a crappy dealer. I order stuff via whole goods all the time. In fact they ask me if I have a preference (which relates to delivery time). In fact, just ordered new left and right tie rod ends last week, no hurry, old ones need replaced but are useable.

That's not a "whole goods" order, that a "stock" order, dealer gets a stock order once a month I do believe.
Getting a stock order is cheaper because your not paying special handling and freight. ;)

A "whole goods" order is a Assembly part, like a BH, remote valves, some tire and wheel packages and many others, but not individual parts normally.

Your salesman doesn't want to be bothered, probably because he will not make any money on the sale.

The last time I checked, wheel/tire packages could only be ordered through whole goods.
