Finally got a payment book for the Sidekick

[SidecarFlip]

Only took 5 months, numerous calls to Kubota in Grapevine and harassing my dealer to get it. Of course we made every payment on time using the original payment stub that was with the sales contract but it finally showed up with (interestingly the first 4 stubs removed.. They even included envelopes to ,ail the payments back with.

Never waited so long for a payment book before.....

Every piece of ag equipment we have ever bought came with either direct billing or a payment book though I will say this is the first monthly payment, we usually pay quarterly. We (the farm) pays nothing online and never has.

Hard copy is important to us as the accountant uses that for depreciation purposes and yes, the Sidekick was bought as a piece of farm equipment. It gets a spray rig in the back this spring, gets to haul tractor fuel and deliver lunch in the field.

I think 5 months is a bit excessive but, I did hear that Kubota was having issues concerning their financial wing in Grapevine. Heard some other stuff to but cannot conform any of it.

Something about Buheler and the big Kubota M Series.

Just bought a L2501 about a month ago, payment book was here two weeks after I signed the contract. We pay over the phone and about a week later we get a receipt in the mail. My last kubota was the same.

Time to move into the current century and pay online or other modern payment form. You dont take a horse and buggy to town anymore do you? Dairy guy deliver milk to your doorstep?

I'm as backwards as Flip, 'cause I take my banking needs to the bank. I have moved up to a motorized truck, and often when I go to town I pick up groceries, including milk. Fortunately I haven't progressed to the point I have to get meat and eggs there. Those are farm fresh!

I don't consider any of this activity a negative. I do consider the increased likely hood of identity theft a negative though.

smoke signal received.

It does seem a safer method though. Paper trails not so bad.

Paid the loans on my car, the wife's van, and 1/3 of my 'other' orange colored tractor thus far using snail mailed checks. I have zero desire to pay online, via phone, etc. I'd much rather have the ability to look back at my checkbook and see when the check was written, for how much, and what check # it was. I don't rely on an emailed/printed receipt for when any of them should call up going 'you missed a payment', or 'we marked the payment as ZZZ instead of YYY. I've had to many emails on both my gmail and work server just disappear to trust anything else.

Actually, when my wife raised Percheron Draft horses we had a couple of them that were broke to ride and drive and we would ride them ito town quite often. Ride them to town and have dinner. Tied across from the diner to a phone pole and usually left a loaf or two there as well.

No milk in this house, we are both lactose intolerant.

The farm pays nothing online and never has. Always a payment book or mailed invoice. Do the same with my customers, they get a paper invoice and pay on that.

My Kubota dealer bills the farm monthly as well. Paper invoice and they get paid with a c=check.

No problem being old school, we like it like that.

My Dealer dropped off books with manuals, machine and a hat. Im auto-pay online every month anyway, but I write the check each month for my truck as I like to add extra on the principal whenever OT or sidejobs allow. 0% on Orange gets normal payment whereas 1.9% on my Toyota means toss money at it...

I got a nice jacket and hat but then I do a lot of business with my dealer. Far as the payment book is concerned, that came from Kubota, not the dealer. Got a new Kubota round baler coming in shortly. That will be a quarterly payment.
