Thinking of buying a "NEW" B2620 (used for one winter by the Naval Academy)

[MXBX]

I need to make a commitment in 24 hrs. Here's the deal:

Kubota tractor with aftermarket Curtis cab and heater, Loader 50" with added hooks (never installed), 60" MMM (never installed) Brand new Turf tires Loaded, and slightly used front end plow 60".

Tractor has 40 hrs, Sold as "New" with Factory Waranty beginning with my purchase.

For $20,468

Should I go for it?

I'm still on the fence re: the purchase. My thought is that the cab is going to get in the way as much as be a welcome addition.

What does that whole package cost at a dealer? I think like $25k or more? You won't get financing but if you can afford it and its the machine you want, go for it. I know all those accessories add up, esp the mower and cab.

It is being offered by the dealer. Comes with 0% financing for 60 mos. as new. They had it out on a short term lease. It was never sold.

made FEL quick attach myself for changing easy between bucket and pallet forks.
attached a bucket level indicator on it.

That's about $15050. I'd say you got a very good deal.

Just sold my BX2360. So, I am now the proud owner of a "NEW" B2620. I have to say, I think the B2620 is a sweet spot for me, almost as nimble as the Bx series with a little more strength for FEL and 3ph work.

I can't believe how much interest there was for the BX out there.

Congrats MX!

Thanks Kenny. They're welding on two grab hooks or i'd be contacting you. Your hooks were incredibly useful and well made.

Any grapple recommendations?

The Land Pride seems to be the best option for BX's.

Wow, funny how fast things can change. Upon reflection, inspection and digestion I reconsidered the B2620 and started looking closely at the B2601. I felt I was getting real close to pulling the trigger on the B2601 but started having a bad vibe at the local dealership. It was almost as if they had a certain arrogance that made me feel ambivalent about making the purchase.

Then it dawned on me that if I feel uncomfortable now, what would it be like if I had a problem with my machine down the road. I realize this is the crazy busy season for dealers but still decided to follow my gut and cancel the sale. They hadn't ordered anything for me so "No harm no foul"

I went down the road to my green dealership and had a good experience there.

I want to extend my warmest regards to the group and thank you all for the valuable advice and suggestions over the last year.

I have a couple of things left over from my BX that I will post in the classified. Thanks again for a really good time here!

Wow congrats!

That story is usually the other way around...everybody complains that the JD's dealers are arrogant and unwilling to deal.
