    Trading (possibly) in my 2 month old 1025R on a BX23s

    In my case my Kubota dealer is 0.6 mi away - the Deere dealer is 25 miles away. Kubota dealer had more stuff stocked. This is more of a dealer related issue than it is a part being on back order issue.

    Luckily my local Kubota dealer is family owned. Parts availability will vary i get that - my main concern was being told that they have everything - drop off the tractor and then i am told they have a back order on some critical parts and it maybe months before they get it. Completely wrecking...

    It's not so much about not having the parts - its about being told everything came in - drop off your tractor and then come to find out alot of parts are missing (some on backorder) I had to do digging myself and find a part bought it and overnight'd it (which I am selling now). The wrong...

    My local Kubota dealer has been great. I inquired with some local folks and they recommended them. There are bad dealers with whatever brand you go with it seems like. In this case I am more about buying the dealer support. JD has a good machine - but my experience in terms of support and...

    They are both almost identical in size - bx maybe slightly smaller... not really a detriment for my use case (just something I will need to get used to). I went forward with it - traded in my 1025R - waiting on the 3rd function install, bolt on bucket blade and mower deck install and i am set...

    I'll deal with that so long as it means I don't have to wait an unknown ETA on parts... or be told multiple times by dealers that they don't sell to general public. This isn't so much as me not liking the 1025R and more about not liking the my experience with parts and trying to get them i.e...

    KABOOM. I deserved it I guess for not using Hagrid's special lube.

    Hi All, I am new here. So long story short I am not dissatisfied with my 1025R - the dealer support however has not been what i was expecting. Long story short - I dropped off my tractor and was told all the parts are there and ready to be installed. It turns out a few of the parts are on...
