Ordered my first tractor on Saturday, hope to hear from the dealer today to finalize paperwork and get a delivery date. I ordered a B2650, with FEL, snow pusher and a back blade. I am pretty excited about this. I have been a troll on this forum for a few months, lurking and reading all the great info!
The dealership I am purchasing from is Ginop Sales in Hillman, MI and have to say Jim has been great with the purchasing process.

Welcome aboard!

You will find that having a Kubota and FEL and all the other goodies will be so helpful that you wished you had purchased years ago.

WE need pictures man....pictures!!!

Glad you have a good dealer too - that makes it all the mo' better!

Be safe with that new machine......go slow, ask questions - all of us have made mistakes and most would not want to do again!

Two things I wished that I had bought the first day that I bought my house....my Kubota and my dump trailer. I've built up a lot of muscle and torn apart a lot of them I am sure, but since the purchases, productivity and my wife's Honey-do-List has grown substantially. Welcome to the Orange side. You'll love it.

I will definitely post pics when I get it.
I will take it slow and learn the art and craft of operating the machine.

Again, I want to say thank you for all the great advice and information that is on this forum!

I'm with scoots! Just bought mine today.
BX2380 with FEL, 60" mid mower, rear blade, grading scraper, tiller and quick hitch. Can't wait to start playing in the dirt!
Hopefully will have it next week.

sfcscoots · Dec 15, 2017

Still waiting on my phone call!!!! Hopefully I will hear something today

dirtydeed · Dec 15, 2017

Congrats. Hopefully they can locate one for you or that they have one on the lot. When I did my deal, I was told Kubota wasn't shipping any new ones until February. Not sure if there is any truth to that or not.

Anyway, best of luck and hope you get it in time for Christmas.

sfcscoots · Dec 15, 2017

When I spoke with Jim on Monday they had a B2650 at one location, the snow pusher at another location, so hoping I get some good intel today.

Sfcscoots and Jwool.......how is Ginops to deal with? I spoke with them years ago. I wanted to buy a 28 h.p. Boomer when they were the Shibaura built models, but then I discovered New Holland doesn't care about small tractor customers at all. And then they discontinued them anyway.
That's when I found the superiority of Kubota!

Good picks on the B2650's. They are great tractors.

sfcscoots · Dec 15, 2017

I spoke with all three locations and settled on the Hillman location. Down to earth and very approachable and helpful. The Williamsburg and Alanson locations were pretty good, but price quote for the tractor was over $1,000.00 more at those two locations.

ItBmine · Dec 15, 2017

I didn't even realize they were also a Kubota dealer.

Skinners in Pickford also sells Kubota alongside Massey Ferguson. Seems like every one is now offering Kubota alongside their other lines.

sfcscoots · Dec 16, 2017

A Pickford Panther! I go up to Sugar Island to do some ice fishing a few times a year

Mike, I am looking at both 1880 and 2380. Like to hear your thoughts on the 2380.

Got my tractor yesterday! I attached a pic. It is awesome

firefighterjohn809 · Dec 21, 2017

Great looking tractor. Really like the snow pusher idea. Do you have a paved or gravel drive area to push? How wide is your pusher? you're ready now, bring it on 'Ol Man Winter!

sfcscoots · Dec 21, 2017

It is 60", got play around for about a hour yesterday. My driveway is mostly gravel. The apron in front of the garage is concrete.

jdriver · Dec 22, 2017

Congrats on the new tractor. I just joined the orange club also. I have been pushing snow for 10 years with a JD4110 with a 54" plow and now have a B2650 with a 72" front plow. I got the chance to use it for the first time today and it is great. Thanks to all for the great information on this site. It has been a great resource in selecting our new tractor. I kept the 48" Frontier box blade and painted it to match along with the JD Imatch quick hitch.
