I've gotten free Kubota, Stihl (several), Harley Davidson (2, plus tee shirts and 2 coffee cups), Springfield Arms, Lincoln Welding, and Yamaha hats............
Oh wait - - those friggin free hats, tee shirts and coffee cups cost me about $50,000......
@Trimley - just poking fun. I always ask for a free hat, and now I don't wear hats.
Congratulations on the new tractor! I've had a BX for just over 10 years and love it!
This was a 36” snowfall years ago. I’m actually doing neighbors driveway across the road.

I got a couple black hats but like yours much better.
I must have hit him on a real good day as I also got a nice Kubota jacket. (honest--not bragging)

My salesman felt so guilty about the amount of money he takes from me that he gave me and my wife each a hat….and whenever we buy an implement same treatment…if if not kubota branded or new (I bought the used green plow from my dealer and got two orange hats)…those are all the most expensive hats I’ve ever gotten.

My next door neighbor in the high country (B2150) has a nephew back east who works at a Kubota dealership.
He sends his uncle stuff from time to time, and I get the dupes and excess stuff from time to time.

Funny!
I know I’ve posted it many times.
I don’t really recognize myself in that picture.
Could be either Batman or Robo Cop….maybe…the “antennae” work lights look funny, but I still use them. Really bright.
I just remember being REALLY COLD AND WET after a few hours…...
Does show someone 6’4” and 240 fits on a BX…
There's no such thing as a free hat.My 23S is the first stop MondayView attachment 108994

Right after I gave my salesman I check for about $32K he gave me one key and told me to hold on a minute and came back with two hats for me to choose between for a “free” hat. Reminded him I needed two keys, one for me and one for my father. Needed a hat for my father, too. He said the extra key is $10 and other than the one free hat, hats are $20. I wasn’t really going to argue but I did say something to the effect of; dude, I just gave you $32K, you can’t comp me a couple hats and a second key when I told you the whole time I need two keys? The GM happened to be walking by, stopped and asked me why I wanted two hats and two keys. I told him about my father and his worn out old N. I’d pay for it if they wanted, but I was leaving with two keys and two hats. They gave me two hats and two keys.
I guess the T didn’t meet the free hat threshold. Wife and I both got hats the day we bought the T but we had to pay for them.

I heard the way for actual free hats is to walk into a dealer wearing competitors hats, let them know you have options, ya know? All you need to start is one hat then walk into a John deer dealer then back to kubota then back to deer and repeat until you have enough.

But wait, what self respecting Kubota operator / owner would be caught wearing a JD hat??
I'd have orange grass if.... oh wait that's a little over the top!
That’s true, but think of it you could sell the JD hats on marketplace for an absurd amount of money. Each time you wear it may cost you some pride, but is your pride worth not having 30 bucks in your pocket every dealership visit?
