New tractor delivery - hours

[Mudball]

Mudball,
Update your profile to reflect you new tractor, can help later when asking questions and forgetting to include the model, top left on the menu bar User CP.

Yes I thought I would update my profile after the tractor is delivered. My dealer salesman hasnt acquired a serial number to generate any paperwork yet so I didnnt want to get ahead of myself but I will change it.

Thanks for all the replies.
I told my salesman that I would be willing to wait a little longer if it means getting a tractor from the new Kubota inventory, rather a transfer from a local dealer of one that has been sitting on the yard/lot for any length of time.

Mine came with 0.2 on the hobbs when it was delivered to my house.

My dealer ordered one from the factory for me since I didn't want one that had been sitting on the lot, out in the weather, for who knows how long. The manufacture date was only 8 days from when it was delivered!

If you're worried about usage before you get it, maybe your dealer can just order a new one direct for you.

Good luck!

Seems like my L3000 had about 3 hrs on it. But they had to install the loader and used it to load and unload my implements. I got a finish mower, bushhog, tiller and boxscrape when I bought it. I came home from work with a yard full of toys waiting on me.

Matter of fact, only thing that makes me mad is I've bought 3 new tractors and I never got to see even one of them delivered. Every time I was at work and came home to find a new tractor sitting in the yard.

Let us know how that went. Just curious no sarcasm intended.

This is suppose to be the plan for us as well.
Thanks

Not many hours either way.
Sounds good.
Thanks

No problem.
Salesman makes me feel like a burden at times, and maybe I am, but Im hoping it all works out.

The last three new Kubotas I bought all had less than three hours on their hour meters.

Mine had 2.4hrs on it. Didn't worry much about it but over 5hrs and I wouldn't have accepted delivery without a little off the price.

That was my very first new tractor that I bought myself. I set it up to be delivered on a Sat. so I would be there. On Fri. afternoon we were told about a big job we had to do the next day. Just my luck I guess

Great. Thanks

Agreed. Thanks

I just bought an L47 with a hydraulic thumb on the backhoe. They installed the thumb at the dealer. It had 2.4 hrs on it when delivered. I love it! It’s a beast.

Congrats on the new acquisition! Nothing like having serious 'tools in the box' to get jobs done.

 

[Smokeless]

I had 2.5 hours on my 3901 when delivered. Was not bothered by it at all.

Wanted to add to the public record here. My Bx1880 was delivered yesterday and had 0.6 hours on the meter when it rolled off the truck.

Thanks for all the replies.
Its been almost three weeks and no tractor delivered yet but I will keep an eye out on the hour meter when/if it arrives.
Thanks again.
