    Getting quotes on L2501 HST w/ LA525 SSQA

    Just an update. I consummated my deal for the 2501, LA525 Loader and 66" QA bucket, RCR1860 Rotary Mower, 1266 Box Scraper, and QH15 Quick attach for $21,900 before sales tax. I put 20% down and took the 0% for 84 mos. The dealer delivered everything but the scraper (out of stock) to our...

    What's up with the used L3301's?

    Although I recently decided on an L2501, I think the L3301 and 3901 cousins could be fine in the hands of individual owner/operators who take the time to know the machines and whatever new processes may be required. Probably a different story for putting these machines into the rental fleet...

    L2501 over Mahindra 2638

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. At this current slice of time, I think Mahindra has made a huge investment and they have a better system in their 25-40HP motors. (I didn't research anything above this.) To wit, when I talked to the Kubota sales guy about stepping up to the 3301, he...

    Getting quotes on L2501 HST w/ LA525 SSQA

    Bill, FWIW - I originally was just going to pay cash but ended up doing the 84 mos at 0%. Essentially it's just another discount. If you do finance with Kubota (0% 60 mos with 0 down, or 0% 84 mos with 20% down), you'll need to show them insurance coverage or buy theirs. I believe mine is...

    L2501 over Mahindra 2638

    The sales story is that Mahindra invested $30M into their new emissions technology and they DO meet emissions but they do it with a catalyst that doesn't require DEF and there is no re-gens. I DID do a lot of research and read a lot of user experiences and owners seem to be quite happy with...

    Getting quotes on L2501 HST w/ LA525 SSQA

    Bill's deal and my deal are very similar. Both of us have L2501 HST, R4s, LA525 with 66" SSQA bucket. We also both have the BB1266 box blade. In addition I got the mower (RCR1860) and the Quick Attach (QH15) for $2540 more... In actuality Bill's deal a wee bit better - but very similar deals...

    Getting quotes on L2501 HST w/ LA525 SSQA

    Yes, I confirm, I got the 2501 HST. My sales guy (super nice and knowledgeable) configured the machine as you see it - less the QH15. I went and did my research and walked back in a couple of days later. My Q's were: 1) Why the 1860 versus 1260 on the mower? 2) Why a 66" scraper instead of...

    L2501 over Mahindra 2638

    And speaks to the value of this forum. The importance of the dealer to be able to stand behind and support their product has been (thankfully) hammered into me by this forum.

    L2501 over Mahindra 2638

    These are the two models I was cross-shopping. I little unfair, I know because stats-wise the Mahindra is more aligned with the 3901 but I told Mahindra dealer if all was equal, then Kubota wins. So, I was price-comparing the L2501 (with FEL, Scraper, and Rotary Mower) against the 2638. On a...

    Well, I just consummated my deal yesterday here in Southern California. Not a lot of competition of different Kubota dealers - 3 dealerships around me but all owned by same company. My config and deal as follows: L2501 R4 Tires, Grill Guard Included LA525 Front Loader with 66" QA Bucket...
